Let's Count Airplanes Print

While mum is at work, little girl stays at her grandmother's house. Granny lives in the country, near the airport. « Let's Count Airplanes ! » is about long promenades in the forest when little girl counts airplanes, these giant birds in the sky. Night falls early in wintertime, so there are dark blues and violets to represent the snowy feeling in Northern forest. Beloved cats accompany her in the forest to protect her from wild animals, if there were any. I started to paint my miniature series « Love Grows Bigger » to celebrate growing up of my child and her adventures in world discovery. My first miniatures on paper dates back to 2013. I discovered that looking at the universe with the eyes of a child has changed the way I see the world myself. It returns the magic of the very first time. Sometimes these paintings serve as a way to ask forgiveness when I haven't been patient enough with my child. Watercolor painting are a silent way to say : Mum loves you no matter what. When my daughter was born and learned to walk I noticed what a true miracle for a human being is the sight of the first flower, the first beetle, the first falling leave in the first autumn. The magic of the very first time came over me and I revived my long-forgotten passion for miniature art. A long time ago I was in love with Persian miniatures from 15th century, so incredibly small, so detailed, with beautiful, delicate colors. I use watercolor, acrylic, crayons and pastels on paper to recreate her miraculous world in a surreal manner. Sometimes I add a crocheted silk lace, it serves as a frame and at the same time underlines the patience and delicacy of the painting itself.
