Painting on Silk
Size: 50 x 70 cm
This artwork (from the series of paintings “Women's Whims”) is based on the eternal theme of love, which is a cornerstone of most classical and contemporary art. On the silk cloth you see the girl in love. She is lost in her thoughts and does not seem to notice anything or anyone around her. Sometimes clever thoughts have a habit to rapidly leaving one’s head, same as birds are leaving their nests… The same is happening with this girl, she prefers her feelings over everything else. She tenderly touches the bird - the symbol of her love… This romantic work is supposed to put you in a very tranquil, reflective, and soulful mood, emphasized by the warm pattern of colors.
This artwork is made with use of complicated techniques, including cold batik with salts, hot batik, and painting. This artwork is painted on the natural silk cloth with professional German silk paints, batik textile dyes, waxes, etc (KREUL Javana). The paint is water based, has no smell, and is fade and wash resistant (after fixing).
Signed on the front.
