"Modern Rococo" is a dazzling convergence of the old and the new, anchored deeply in its inspiration from a renowned portrait of Madame de Pompadour, a symbol of luxury, art, and fashion in 18th-century France. The influence of this iconic muse is evident, offering a fresh perspective on a classic theme. In the central figure, one can trace the echoes of Madame de Pompadour's elegance and allure. Draped in a vibrant dress, she serves as a poignant reminder of the original portrait while being uniquely modernized. Her silhouette, dark and enigmatic, stands out amidst the vibrant backdrop, much like how Madame de Pompadour herself stood out in the French court and the annals of art history. The piece brings together the ornamental charm of Rococo and the bold abstraction of contemporary art. While the intricate curves and flourishes resonate with the luxurious detailing of Rococo stylings, the fragmented planes and lines introduce a modern, Cubist-inspired interpretation. "Modern Rococo" doesn't merely borrow from its historical muse; it reinvents and reimagines her for a contemporary audience. It's a dialogue between centuries, styles, and sensibilities, capturing the ever-evolving narrative of art and beauty.

Luna Ljus, a multidisciplinary artist originating from Brazil, presents a diverse portfolio centered around the motif of metamorphosis. Her creations resonate with profound shifts—be they physical, emotional, or historical. Drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations, including mythology, sci-fi, and the annals of art history. Ljus's invites audiences to a realm where the present moment is momentarily set aside, allowing for a cathartic journey through emotion, only to circle back with a rejuvenated perspective. Employing a blend of the abstract and the literal, she reimagines literary, fictional, and historical themes, often through a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. At the heart of her repertoire is the notion of transformation. Each piece, echoing life's cyclical dance of birth, decay, and rebirth, beckons onlookers to ponder the depths of change. Her visual lexicon unfolds with a mix of geometric musings and organic shapes, painting dreams and hinting at alternate dimensions. There's a deliberate interplay of color and form—a testament to her infatuation with their symbiotic relationship. Ljus's canvases pulsate with energy, largely credited to her choice of spirited, juxtaposed colors. The echoes of Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, particularly the traces of Orphism and color field techniques, are undeniable in her work. Moreover, the recurring patterns and symbols in her pieces are deliberate nods to mythology, science fiction, and the annals of art history. Ljus's meticulous method involves a profound exploration of narrative through the prism of elementary forms and vivid colors, often blurring the lines between the abstract and the definitive. Her penchant for the tactile essence of paper and water-soluble pigments pushes her to constantly experiment with varied mediums, crafting semi-abstract artworks. Each creation undergoes an intriguing evolution. Beginning with a detailed watercolor foundation, the piece is subject to alterations in color fields and strokes over days or even weeks, reflecting the evolving thoughts and sentiments that sparked its inception. This fluid process sometimes yields unforeseen motifs, adding serendipitous layers to her work. Ljus's oeuvre is thoughtfully segmented into series: "Renewals" delves into the nuances of change. "Strange Worlds" is a poetic contemplation of alternate realities and entities.
