My digital painting 'White Gold' is a tribute to the old masters. It is an oil painting in digital form, bringing together bright colours on a dark background.
The dark background creates a contrast that gives the flowers more radiance. 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 gives a sense of serenity and calm, making the work an oasis of 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. Moreover, there is a touch of transience in the work, the flowers, despite their bright colours and realistic rendering, give the idea of temporality. This impermanence is emphasised by the dark background and the way the light falls, it creates a sense of finality, as if the flowers are about to wilt. It reinforces the idea that we should enjoy the beauty of the moment, because it is temporary and unpredictable.
