Description

What if, one day, a portal between the earthly and heavenly realms opened above the peaceful hills of Tuscany? Amid golden fields, flowering meadows, and endless expanses of red poppies, a mysterious flying object appears. Its luminous silhouette floats in the sky against the backdrop of an enormous golden sun made of mirror. A beam of light emanates from the flying saucer, resembling the traditional divine radiance often used in classical painting to depict heavenly revelations.

The distinctive feature of this artwork lies in the unexpected fusion of two entirely different worldviews. Within the beam of light, a classical religious scene unfolds, inspired by the art of the Renaissance and Baroque periods: the figures of God the Father, the crucified Christ, and angels seem to emerge in the celestial space. Yet the source of this mystical light is not a traditional heavenly presence, but a hovering flying saucer. In this way, the familiar iconography of divine revelation takes on an unexpected science-fiction interpretation. It raises a mysterious question: what if ancient interpretations of celestial phenomena and modern accounts of extraterrestrial civilisations are much closer to one another than we might imagine?

The lower part of the composition reveals a fantastical Tuscan landscape. Golden fields give way to flowering meadows and vibrant fields of red poppies. Nestled among the picturesque hills is a charming Italian villa surrounded by slender cypress trees. Flowing contours of the landscape, ornamental golden spirals, and elaborate decorative details create the atmosphere of an enchanted world, where rural tranquillity becomes part of a grand mystical event.

The painting brings together classical artistic traditions, symbolism, and decorative aesthetics inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt.

Created with acrylic paints and richly layered textural techniques, the artwork features a surface embellished with mosaic, decorative glass, and semi-precious stones, including red coral, agate, hematite, carnelian, amber, and turquoise. Their natural hues, shimmering surfaces, and diverse textures create a sumptuous decorative finish reminiscent of a precious jewel. The golden mirror used for the sun reflects and refracts the surrounding light, changing its radiance depending on the illumination and viewing angle.

This artwork brings together religious painting, classical symbolism, decorative art, and contemporary visions of extraterrestrial civilisations. Heavenly revelation takes on a cosmic form, while the familiar Tuscan landscape becomes a stage for an encounter between the earthly, the divine, and the unknown.

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".
