About The Artwork
Sometimes a common passion can unite painters who are far away in time. As it is easy to understand, Cedric Morris and his love for irises are very close to my sensitivity. So one day I decided to pay homage to him and his passion. My painting is composed around two main elements, that is the green of British countryside and the elegance of irises. On the external sides, the cold-green background represents the freshness of the new grass. There are darker spots that symbolize the lushness of countryside, so rich in different shades and textures. The focus is on the central part, where a branch of irises is painted on gold leaf. To obtain a drawing-like effect, I used a very fine brush. On the metal background, the diaphanous irises convey a sense of frailty which, in my opinion, is the essence of every flower, the most beautiful gift they give us. What is more, the warmth of the gold color both contrasts with and completes the coldness of the green parts. Both shades are features of the Spring season, when Nature wakes up and flowers start to blossom. Some golden thin branches insinuate into the green parts, reminding us that Nature is strong even when it seems frail, is resilient even when its parts are fragile. The final effect is an elegant, ethereal, Art Nouveau-like painting which celebrates Art and nature at the same time. 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.
