Iris Elegy: Floral Hope Symbol

Yuliya Chshipachyova, Ukraine

What makes people go to artists' exhibitions, visit galleries and museums, and buy paintings for hundreds of years? I think it is the emotions they feel when looking at images. After all, in essence, paintings are like an imprint of the artist's emotions, his thoughts and ideas in his head. The artist left them on the canvas to his viewers. People buy paintings to pass by each time to feel the emotion that caused them it, to unravel the intent and motives of the artist. And it does not matter whether they are positive or negative, these are emotions without which a person can not exist. And yet it is still a mystery why we appreciate art in any manifestation. Maybe it is the best thing that is in man. The ability to see and create beauty, not only to destroy. As a designer and artist, I was influenced by the art of artist Alphonse María Muha His works I am ready to look at endlessly, the perfect depiction of the most fragile and delicate creatures, women and flowers. I want to unravel this masterfully intricate pattern of graceful and delicate lines of images of beautiful girls wrapped in bouquets of flowers. The main creator of beauty of course is nature itself, here she has no equal. Catching a glimpse of the beautiful creatures of nature, you realize, as an artist, that I am only a student in the workshop of nature. Only a small part of the beauty I can convey in my works. But I will never stop being an admirer of her. By doing botanical painting, I leave a beautiful image of plants on paper, as if prolonging their lives. All my works are done on professional watercolour paper 100% cotton, with professional watercolour inks.
