Folk Portrait

I can clearly see the influence of Russian and other East European forms of religious iconography in this work. This is a very brave use of the vivid red from her hair across the composition, but then another trademark of your work is your use of hair to symbolize love, death and hope etc.

I also enjoy the way your figures blend and merge and blend into the backgrounds of your work. It reminds me of stained glass windows and European iconography.

Very impressive light power in this art work, For me it’s like the light or knowledge of the old times (symbolized by the Pyramids, Cross) was a gift that given to us by God and till our days kept inside mothers in the form of love for their kids.

It remembers me of something often seen in the works of the Vienna school (Klimt, Hundertwasser,…). What is it? The softened color oppositions, the texture of the material, the composition, I have no clue. I just feel attracted.

Lovely picture, lovely seller – thank you.

The flowing of the curves really emphasises the feminine, the colors are subtle and the elements are well balanced. If I were a painter, this one could be an inspiration for a whole body of work.
