About The Artwork
In my opinion, harmony is a deeply interesting concept. In fact, it is perfection which originates from diversity. It is always the outcome of a mixing, and often it represents the opposite of purity, as it is the case in this work. My aim was to re-create the joyful atmosphere of a field full of fresh wildflowers. At the same time, I was interested in playing with materials in a slightly different way than the usual. This composition is divided in three parts. On both sides violets are traced with quick strokes and vivid colors on a rough background. Such an irregular surface is obtained by gluing some white tissue paper onto the wood board. This roughness transmits to the Conté drawing. The central section is quite different. Two lines of gold leaf frame its upper and lower part. Apart from that, it is an almost monochrome section where a graphite-drawn violet stands out against a white background. Another feature of this central part is that the violet is drawn on Plexiglas. This time, my aim was to play with transparency more than with brightness. The Plexiglas is irregularly painted in white – the oil paint is partially sanded – so one can see the silver leaf beneath its transparent surface. Such a layering in the central part of this work creates a light and transparent area, whereas the two sides are opaque and vividly colored. 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.
