Anna Kropiowska "The Secret Garden in Giverny 5" x

This is a painting from the series "The Secret Garden in Giverny". The inspiration for these works comes from the gardens in Monet's garden in Giverny, France. I love this place. However, I didn't want to paint a simple study of plant life, but rather to speak about it in the language of abstraction, which allows the viewer to interpret it. The garden can be full of flowers, colors, textures, objects, but it can also symbolize spiritual life.

The artwork is created with pastel technique on pastel card. It is characterized by vivid, beautiful colors of an August afternoon. The piece is framed in a simple white frame. The artwork is shipped in a protected and insured wooden box, along with a certificate of authenticity. Signed in the lower right corner.

"Every good painting is abstract. Form, brush movement, color combinations, and purely abstract associations create a painterly reality that speaks to the viewer through the power of color clash. The world of colors, hues, light, and form fascinated me as a child. I try to paint and draw every day. A day without artistic work is a lost day. An artist must be very demanding of themselves and, regardless of successes or failures, strive to make the next painting better than the previous one. For me, painting is like breathing... an uninterrupted, natural, essential process that has accompanied me and will always accompany me..."
