Morning Light Painting

In my recent quest for light, Plexiglas has been one of my most fruitful discovery. In fact, the contrast between its shiny transparence and the opaque surface of wood makes room for interesting outcomes. “Morning Light” is one of these outcomes. This painting was inspired by a… window! It was a bright Spring morning and from the kitchen window I saw some beautiful flowers. They seemed to play with sunlight and stood out against the green new grass, as they were actors on a stage. It was an amazing view, so I decided to synthetically describe it. Here, Plexiglas recalls both a window and a magnifying glass. It creates a viewpoint from which one can admire the flowers features in detail as they were observed through a hand lens. It detaches colours from a uniform background, where the flowers are only suggested as shadows. It adds a sense of distance from what lies behind it, while it allows us to peer into this “behind”. One can imagine the singing of birds “out there”, as when you look out of a close window. What is more, while contrasting the oil painted board, the Plexiglas bright surface adds a 3D effect to this work. So “Morning Light” expresses many different facets of what I perceived that morning. In general, it conveys a sense of freshness and lightness, and celebrates the beauty of Nature. However, if one look at the blurred green background behind the detailed flowers, a sense of mystery arises. The Plexiglas window could also be a “looking glass”, through which enter an enchanted world. Or it can be seen as an actual mirror, because it reflects the world outside on its small surface, and makes reality an integral part of itself. Framed with wood batons – no additional framing required. Ready to hang. For more information, see the additional pictures.
