Two iris flowers stand out in a vertical composition, their shapes seeming to melt onto the page, in a beautiful contrast between definition and abstraction.
The shades of lavender, magenta, and indigo blend with the white of the paper, while the stems dissolve into long drops of color. The central accent is provided by a touch of yellow inside the corolla.
This is not a simple floral representation, but the result of a "drop" technique and extreme fading, where the mastery of water is fundamental.
The work exploits the ability of watercolor to create velvety transparencies and a sense of perpetual movement.
The liquefaction effect is not a mistake, but a stylistic choice that gives the piece a profound poetic charge, making it a statement piece of great refinement.
Your environment will gain in elegance, lightness and contemplation, thanks to the perfect balance created between the majestic form of the flower and its fragility expressed by the fading.
This work was created entirely by hand, celebrating the magic of pure watercolor, letting water and pigment dance freely on the high-quality paper.
