About The Artwork
This painting has a story somewhat different from many of my works. This can be described as the story of a failure that was transformed into something new. My intention was to paint a feminine profile in a rather realistic way. The smooth surface of canvas seemed a bit too “silky”, so I decided to start putting a materic layer on it. When I started painting on this rough surface, however, the result was not the expected one. I did not like it, and the more I tried to improve my painting, the more it seemed to get worse... In the end, I decided to cancel everything and start again from the scratch. While I was removing the exterior layers of color, some very delicate and rather synthetic traits of what I had painted emerged. I saw what was left of the painting in a new light, and decided not to eliminate everything. So I left what remained of the first coat, then added some new pencil-drawn parts in contrast to the "older" part. The title explains the genesis and also the meaning of this work of mine. 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.
