About the artwork

In this painting, the portrait of a young woman in surrealism unfolds, her quiet grace and delicate presence anchored in a moment of deepest inwardness. Her face, with velvety skin and a barely perceptible hint of blush on her cheeks, rests in the soft glow of an inner light. With her eyes closed, she seems to be listening inwards - immersed in a world of dreams in which time and consciousness flow into one another.

An implied tree trunk rises from the ground and winds its way from the woman's neck into the upper right-hand corner of the picture. In an almost magical metamorphosis, her hair is transformed into a vibrant network of flowers and leaves - a living mosaic of roses, forget-me-nots, daisies and other floral shapes. These floral fireworks contrast with the calm serenity of her face and at the same time refer to the cycle of becoming and passing away.

The background unfolds a harmonious colour dramaturgy: dark blue tones intensify in the lower area, while towards the top they merge into a lighter, almost ethereal green. This creates an atmospheric tension between depth and lightness, between earth and sky.

The work celebrates the silent symbiosis of man and nature - a poetic allegory of oneness, in which the young woman herself becomes a blossom in the breath of life.
