About The Artwork

In this work my aim was to show an abstract idea of a flower. I mixed warm and cold tones, and used colors in a way that is only partially realistic. All the surface is painted, so this work conveys a sense of fullness that recalls a Baroque concept of beauty. The gold circle in the centre, however, works as a spotlight that enlightens only one branch of lilia. Just this specific branch becomes visible and recognizable, opposite to the other flowers that lie out of this “magic lense” and that remain mere golden silhouettes. The green background abstractly stands for the idea of a field during the spring, of nature itself. Light slides differently onto the various textures of this painting, namely the gold leaf, the irregular green background and the clean oil painting strokes in the centre of the composition. As in “Gold and Flowers” the idea of theatre is involved. Nonetheless, here the focus is on the power of searchlight to take objects and characters to life. Framed with wood batons – no additional framing required. Ready to hang.

Transformation, light and the mixing of old techniques with new materials play a leading role in my recent production. The main link between my works is a quest for harmony, an attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of trivial matters. Ethereal female figures inspired by ancient Myths, flowers, fruits, peacocks and other pieces of reality are depicted in my bright figurative style that recalls the great tradition of European painting, especially the analytic approach in describing reality that was typical of both Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites. My strokes are normally clean and the images neat, however I sometimes focus on a specific part of a painting, especially when an unexpected element - such as a Plexiglas layer - is inserted into the composition. In this way, the incredible potentiality of oil painting flourishes through the clear lines of a feature, in opposition to the blurriness of another one. My quest towards the soul of things pushes me often toward portraiture, this wonderful game of mirrors where the individuality of the artist merges into the inner self of the model.
