About the Item

Garden of Earthly Delight – Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about this painting: In Garden of Earthly Delight blow green wind – is there such a thing? Can the wind actually possess a color? Well, if an artist wishes to capture the essence of the wind on canvas, they must conjure up a hue for it. Wind, in its simplest form, is the movement of air. We perceive its presence through the motion it imparts on objects, often fixating our gaze on trees. In autumn, we witness this phenomenon through the rustling of dried leaves. These delicate remnants of foliage are weightless, responding to every gust of wind that comes their way. However, during the summer months, when plants are at the peak of their vitality, when we feel like be in the garden of earthly delight, the wind gracefully sways their robust green leaves and stems. It is truly remarkable to witness the strength exhibited by the slender and seemingly fragile stems of certain plants. They proudly stand tall, defying the forces of nature. When the wind blows, they gracefully bend, only to swiftly return to their upright position with each gust. The rhythmic gusts set them in a mesmerising cyclic motion, causing their stems and leaves to ripple like living sine waves. And as if to enhance this spectacle, the sun bathes it in its warm, radiant light. Oh, the sheer beauty of it all! I have endeavoured to capture my awe and admiration for this enchanting display in my painting of my garden of earthly delight, in wich wind is green.
