Irina came out of the treasure chest today.
In the atelier, I had sketched her in her full body, like on the photo. Just a little later to start over and zooming in – you can still see the first sketch on the paper:
Very strong dynamic. Then we sat for a long time and I listen for the background. I was wondering so much, what Irina sees! After a long time waiting, I just decided to start with a kind of what was there … and just a short time later I heard the call for blue. intense blue. so here you go:
Blue moved in and a bit of gold. Maybe the original inspiration was more about letting go – today it felt more like receiving, at least this came to my mind while painting.
Thank you, Irina!
