The Holy Virgin

Lovely picture, lovely seller – thank you.

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.

I like your palette of colors on this piece, also the textures… It has an atmosphere of secrecy and mysticism.

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.

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 like the humble feeling that this painting reflecting. I also like the contrast of the colors here.
