ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Art deco Painting original with African Egon Schiele Feminist black woman. Beautiful vivid mosaic artwork with summer and abstract flowers field. African American wall art. Colorful pop art canvas wall decor. Unique gift. Details: * Dimensions 31.5 х 23.6 inches, 80 х 60 cm. ★★★ This is a mixed media art: acrylic paint, acrylic and wood mosaic. The "Black Muses or What If..." series of works, where I am trying to answer one of the most important questions in my art, what if we imagine the world in reverse? For centuries, the most famous artists have been white men. Their muses have always been white, too. I fantasise what would happen if the world's masterpieces had depicted black people. In my work I reinterpret famous paintings of great masters. I like imaginary dialogues with them and suggest modern interpretations of their ideas. What if we imagine the world in reverse? What seems established, unshakable to us, is just a point of view shared centuries ago. And if, centuries ago, artists had taken modern approach, those paintings would now be regarded as the established concept. The world is constantly evolving, and classic subjects have lost much of their relevance. In creating the painting, I was thinking how Schiele's painting might look today. For example, why couldn’t his women be black? ------------------ ★★★ Happy is the one who knows how to sing with a pure and open soul ... One must be able to find joy in everything: in the sky, in trees, in flowers. Flowers bloom everywhere for everyone who wants to see them (H. Matisse)

Hi! I'm glad to see you! My name is Irina Bast. I find my happiness in doing art. Art is a part of my soul, my energy, my vision of the world. I consider myself a multi-faceted artist, I like to experiment with materials. I realized that I can create beauty not only with paints. I create three-dimensional artworks with volumetric elements. I work in two directions: acrylic paintings with decorative mosaic and wall sculpture art. My favorite techniques are acrylic and mosaic. I also add crystals, precious and semi-precious stones to make my artwork even more exquisite. I'm proud to say that my artworks are in private collections in the USA, Canada, Italy, England, Russia, Austria, Japan, France, Portugal, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, China, Cyprus and other countries. The painting "Marie Antoinette" became part of the collection of the ArtMuse Contemporary Art Museum in St. Petersburg. Art "90" is in the MU - MU Museum in Kaluga (Russia). I know how to conduct a sale from start to finish. I am very careful with my art, so over the years I have become a master of packaging. I am inspired by the world around me, colours, flowers, people, other artists' paintings, stained glass windows and even art materials. My main theme of creativity is a Woman, her life, thoughts, feelings, relationships with people and the world.
