Description
This wall sculpture \ mosaic painting is inspired by the lush, decorative style of Gustav Klimt, but with a bold, modern twist.
Imagine a garden immersed in verdant greenery, filled with spreading apple trees laden with ripe, rosy fruit. The colors here play with every shade of the rainbow: the deep emerald of the foliage, the crimson blush of the apples, and a thousand hues of flowers. It is a world of abundance, beauty, and harmony, a world that seems straight out of a fairy tale.
But look at the sky. There, amid the delicate azure blue and pearlescent clouds, a completely different picture unfolds. Realistic, metallic UFO disks, like silvery coins, cut through the sky. They clash with the decorative splendor of the garden, creating a sharp contrast that evokes a slight sense of bewilderment and simultaneously excites the imagination. And now, one of these mysterious objects, like a giant vacuum cleaner, is pulling... a cow.
The combination of decorative opulence and collage elements, where realistic UFOs and a cow seem to be pasted into this golden paradise, creates the effect of a surreal dream.
The title "I Want to believe" is the key to understanding the artist's intentions. This phrase, made iconic by UFO films and The X-Files, expresses the deep human desire to believe in something greater than visible reality, even when there is no evidence.
The artist wanted to convey that even in the most beautiful, harmonious, and seemingly perfect world, there is always room for mystery, for the inexplicable, for that which transcends our understanding.
Perhaps our reality is not as simple as it seems. And behind the familiar beauty and order, something completely different, alien, and incomprehensible may be hidden. Or perhaps it is a metaphor for our own desires and fantasies, which we are willing to accept as truth, even if they seem absurd.
Details:
Decorative mosaic painting on canvas with collage elements. Enhanced with acrylic paints and mother-of-pearl or nacre powder.
The canvas is stretched on a wooden frame, so framing is not required. There is a metal hanger on the back.

Presentation
Irina: "I am full-time artist. I find my happiness in doing art. Art is a part of my soul, my energy, my vision of the world. I consider myself a multi-faceted artist, I like to experiment with materials. I realized that I can create beauty not only with paints. I create three-dimensional artworks with volumetric elements. I work in two directions: mosaic paintings and wall sculpture art. I use decorative found objects, mosaic, plaster, wood, shells, crystals, gemstones, anything that can realize my ideas. My art is full of life and joy. The main theme is a Woman, her life, thoughts, feelings, relationships with people and the world".
