About The Artwork

One of the most fascinating feature of flowers is their ongoing transformation. If you look at a flourishing field, you will see an extensive variety of possibilities. There will be buds, full-blown flowers, fading flowers. And, if the wind blows amongst the plants, you will see colored waves moving. This work is quite different from many of my other paintings. In fact, my inspiration here was movement. The palette used is mainly a cold one. Some of the flowers are roughly sketched with graphite. The background consists of spots of colors that – through slightly different shades – interact and blur with other spots contained within the grey flowers. This creates an impression of movement, that starts on the right and finishes on the left side, where the “changing” flowers assume definite features. They are synthesized in a white iris. This part of the painting symbolizes the flowers new status, through both the medium used – namely the oil painting – and the background covered in silver leaf. The iris flower is realistically painted, whereas its leaves are drawn on the silver background. The metal foil is roughly fixed on wood and this adds a sense of movement to this static part of the painting too. 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.
