Birds, 2023

Emma Godebska  

"Birds" is an elegant and contemporary abstract pattern painting with dark tones and golden highlights. This compelling artwork features an intricate tapestry of overlapping, dark-hued rectangles. Each shape is uniquely shaded, creating a mesmerizing mosaic of deep blues and greens, accentuated by subtle hints of gray. The composition seems to flow organically, as though the pieces are continuously interacting with one another, drawing the viewer into their dynamic dance. The fragmented forms evoke a sense of depth and movement, suggesting both chaos and harmony within the abstract design. This visual interplay of colors and shapes establishes a captivating atmosphere, inviting observers to immerse themselves in its complexity and layers.

Emma's artwork is inspired by the Parisian luxury world of fashion, textures and pure colour.  This artwork is created using acrylic paint and pigment on canvas. It comes in a beautiful champagne color float frame and ready to hang.

"I work on a white surface, usually leaving the background pure, happily playing with the interaction of its texture with the paint. I create the colour by mixing paints, pigments, inks, playing with the paint dilution, exploiting its transparency effects, or its pigment accumulations.

I try to emphasize the fluidity of the material, and look in the gesture for a balance between tension and slackening, concentration and spontaneity, in order to reach an equilibrium in the composition.

The result is floating in a white space, like a calligraphic sign. The superimposition of its elements and the contrast between the density and the transparency give a sculptural dimension to the composition."
