Informazioni sull’articolo

Naiad (work in progress) Original painting. size 39x23in / 100x60cm . Shipped stretched as it is, ready for hanging. "Midday (Nude on Armchair 3") is a striking addition to this series, expanding its exploration of time and mood with an intriguing shift in both color palette and emotional tone. The piece introduces warm, earthy reds that contrast with the cool blues dominating the first two paintings, creatingbetween the human figure and its environment. This work bridges the gap between the lightness of "Day (Nude on Armchair 1)" and the introspection of "Night (Nude on Armchair 2)". The use of red evokes the heat and energy of midday, marking a temporal and emotional midpoint in the series. It adds variety to the series' narrative while maintaining its thematic focus. While the red figure stands out boldly, the continued use of blue for the background ensures cohesion with the other works. This juxtaposition symbolizes the duality of human experience—inner warmth and external stillness—mirroring the midday sun's ability to simultaneously energize and overwhelm. The red tone lends the figure an immediacy and intensity absent from the other paintings. It suggests vitality, warmth, or perhaps restlessness, amplified by the posture—arms wrapped around the body, legs crossed, as if shielding herself from an external force. This pose feels more intimate and self-contained compared to the relaxed openness of the figures in the first two paintings. The light streaming from the left continues the theme of natural illumination, but here it feels sharper, almost oppressive, as if evoking the blazing midday sun. The background remains abstract, with the characteristic drips and loose brushstrokes, but the interplay of warm and cool tones gives it a greater sense of depth and complexity. The warm reds could symbolize heightened emotion, passion, or vulnerability, while the blue surroundings suggest detachment or calm. This duality might reflect the internal conflict of midday—a time often associated with peak energy but also a moment of pause or reflection as the day transitions. "Day (Nude on Armchair 1)" is ethereal and light, with the figure merging into the environment. "Night (Nude on Armchair 2") is introspective and grounded, with a weightier presence. "Midday (Nude on Armchair 3)" feels the most emotionally charged, with the figure fully asserting itself in the space through bold color and posture. If viewed as a chronological series, Midday represents a climactic moment. The redness could symbolize action, movement, or intensity—contrasting the serenity of morning and the quiet introspection of night. "Midday (Nude on Armchair 3)" is a powerful piece that adds richness and complexity to the series. Its bold use of red introduces a striking visual contrast while evoking the physical and emotional experience of midday. The figure’s introspective yet defensive posture makes it deeply human and relatable, inviting viewers to reflect on the intensity and vulnerability of this time of day. Displayed alongside the other works, it would serve as an emotional centerpiece, anchoring the narrative arc of the series. Artist Statement "I started by painting interiors, being interested in space and perspective through my studies. These scenes evolved, when I added the human figure. I focused more on the human figure and its relation to the background. The human figure is more present than ever in my paintings now. As a woman artist I’ve been preoccupied with the female form and its imagery. One of my goals was to capture the solitary moments and the nude’s relation to the surrounding space. My interest turned from depicting the space to rendering the atmosphere and the scene as a whole, the feeling a woman adds to the environment: warmth, desire, joy, a feeling of power and control, or the opposite – sadness, despair. Here is a collection of figurative paintings, exploring the nudes in interior spaces, seeing the nudes from my perspective, as a woman artist, considering the physical and spiritual realities of a woman’s body, in a new level of intimacy. My paintings are the opposite of objectifying a woman’s or a man’s anatomy. Painted works, featuring female nudes and a also men nudes, in a reversal of the male-artist/female-muse pattern, validate the feminine experience, defining myself through it. I was interested in how one experiences the body in a sensual form, and later focused on my own body, as I experience it myself, looking into the mirror and reconnecting. My work challenges the tradition of the nude by capturing my point of view, the gaze of a female painter, by using photography, drawings, sketches, and painting on canvas, for, both physical and psychological exploration. My art tries to create a visual language for emotion, beauty, feelings of intimacy and in the same time autonomy, captured with paint and vivid colors. My intense interest in colour and the gestures of the brush strokes are the means I see and convey the subjects in space, as living, passionate beings."
