About "Open Up"

About the artwork

My digital painting 'Open Up' is a tribute to the old masters. It is an oil painting in digital form, bringing together bright colours on a dark background.

The colours are bright and vibrant, with a range of shades of green, orange and purple bringing the flowers and leaves to life. The dark background creates a contrast that makes the flowers look even more radiant. The colours are used to draw attention to the beauty and delicate details of the flowers. The light is an important element in the work, falling from one side creating a dramatic effect. The light accentuates the curves of the flowers and reveals the textures of the leaves. The light also gives a sense of serenity and calm, making the work an oasis of colour and harmony.

Although the flowers and leaves are realistically rendered, they may not occur in nature at all in this form. It is a free interpretation of the creator. It is about the composition, the use of colour, the feeling that is conveyed. The work invites silence and reflection, a moment to enjoy the beauty of flowers in a different form than we are used to.

This impermanence in the work is emphasised by the dark background and the way the light falls, it creates a sense of finiteness, as if the flowers are about to wilt. This gives the work even more emotion and makes it a unique piece of art as it is not only a visual delight, but also a reflection on life itself.
