SILENCE AND THE CALLAS. WOMAN SILVER FLOWERS SACRED PORTRAIT Painting

Silvery silence, profile of a woman with a strong and determined gaze, all underlined by the presence of calla flowers. The Calla has several symbolic meanings: purity, sympathy, and beauty. Since ancient times, the calla has also served as a lucky charm — when the Greeks and Romans linked the plant to parties and fun. If its shape is reminiscent of the chalices they used to toast at banquets, it has also inspired many artists since, such as Diego Riviera ("The Flower Vendor") or Georgia O'Keeffe. In the language of flowers of the Victorian era, the Calla was a symbol of eroticism because of its sensual appearance. This illustration is part of a series of female portraits related to nature. Plants are always in the foreground. I realize these highly symbolic creations in osmosis with the sacred feminine, the forces of Nature, pagan beliefs and mythologies. I am inspired by the painting of the Pre-Raphaelites, Art Nouveau, Symbolism and Surrealism.
