The painting is done in the style of Japanese Sumi-e painting. Since silk paint is liquid, I soaked the silk so that the petal strokes would lie in the Japanese painting technique. It was my experiment — to paint not on rice paper but to step beyond the frame. Usually pre-treated silk is used for paintings, but I used what could be found in our art stores. Large crimson peonies neighbor the same lilac irises — a combination rarely seen in nature at the same time, but on silk it looks completely organic. In Japan the peony is called the “king of flowers”: it symbolizes wealth, courage, and honor, and paired with the iris it becomes a real conversation between two noble flowers on one canvas.
It will make your interior cosy and unique.
The painting is framed, hanging hardware included, ready for display. Colors on screen may differ slightly from the original.
