Artists get their inspiration from everywhere. Once it’s just a raindrop, the other day it turns to be a great master of art and creation.

I came across the beautiful album: “Paul Gauguin - in den Museen der Sowjetunion” (Aurora- Kunstverlag, Leningrad, 1989) and fall in love with the way they presented art of this absolutely unique and timeless artist.

One particular Gauguin’s painting - Aha Oe Feii? or Are You Jealous? - stayed with me for longer, inspired me…

Trying to catch the colors was a great fun! And making an abstract piece from just a very small part of this beautiful masterpiece of art - was a challenge I just needed to take.

I played with colors and structures as well as the media.

I knew I wanted to play only with this particular part of this beautiful painting as those colors were just hunting me for days!

I literally played with this for days.

I used crayons, pastels or pens…

Needed to move into the living room as the temperature in my studio dropped to -5!

UPS!

And as you can see on the making-of-pictures the Sezane was actually supporting me during the whole process ;) Literally!

I consider myself definitely a #sezanelover

So here it is!

I came to the end of this trip when I reached the watercolor pans and acrylic pencil.

You can see the result of those days below.

BTW I don't really know why I signed it with my artistic name but I just came out of my deepest journey to my focus-forrest.

HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

share if you do ;)
