Art for wall – Magic moment in the forest – we are being watched

Encounters with the enchantment of nature can be found in the depths of the forest, creating truly magical moments. To truly experience this wonder, one must venture into the forest and open themselves up to its captivating impact. Even the most ordinary plants and trees, which we may have seen countless times before, reveal themselves as extraordinary manifestations of nature when given a closer look. Their lives ebb and flow with the rhythm of the seasons, transforming from the luscious greens of spring to the vibrant hues of autumn. One could write volumes about the beauty found within these transformations, but familiarity often dulls our appreciation for the everyday.
However, when we find ourselves walking amidst the towering trees, our thoughts may not always dwell on their presence. It is only when movement catches our eye, a flicker of life between the trunks, that our senses sharpen and our vigilance heightens. In these moments, we yearn to catch a glimpse of the forest’s inhabitants, to witness the creatures that share this sacred space with us. Such encounters disrupt our leisurely stroll, reminding us that we are not alone, that we are being observed. Often, the animals dart away in the distance, leaving us uncertain of their identity. But occasionally, a surprising encounter occurs, where we find ourselves face to face with a creature, mere feet away. Oh, how breathtaking these forest animals are! Yet, their beauty eludes us, slipping away as if they possess the power to dematerialise. They leave us with a sense of longing, a feeling of incompleteness. In those moments, we yearn to call out, to beckon them back, to capture that magic once more.
“The Magic Moment in the Forest” painting serves as a testament to these encounters, a visual representation of the memories they hold. Created between 2018 and 2023, it is one of several paintings that have accompanied me throughout the years. Initially, it depicted the forest and its intricate structure in n an abstract way. Later, animals appeared in it. This piece of art for wall can can decorate the wall of any room. This painting is quite large and needs proper display. As a result, it will introduce the magic of the forest.

Should an Artist Write About Her Own Work?
Strictly speaking, an artist does not have to explain herself. She has already spoken — in the painting. And yet the history of visual art is written in words, and today an artist's own account of her work is not merely welcome but expected. A letter on why I have decided to write.

Hidden logic
It was summer, and green surrounded me on every side. The sun was not sparing with its light, and on the lake the waves kept flashing. I wanted to write those sensations onto canvas — and then, as always, the question arrived: how?

The colour grey
Grey means monotony, the commonplace, the absence of colour. I chose it anyway for many of my monotypes — for one practical reason, and one that is not.
