"Female with a calla"


I came to the conclusion that each post I begin in a strange way. There is no proper introduction, I change topics too quckly, so now I'd like to sort of change my attitude and say a few things more.
Colours-how important they are in art , in the life of an artist. I found out that each artist has his own unique palette which is eather changeble during his lifetime (for example he has his green or blue periods) or the palette remains constant for example Frida Cahlo was using striking, bold colours which were sort of typical of her Mexican culture. Historians then decide which period was the most fruitful, however your opinion can be outrageously different.
I'm sort of interested in art but not in a very serious way. I'm looking for outstanding artists, rather contemporary, not professionals. Recently, I've been searching paintings according to one thema: luxury. It attracts me and it doesn't necessarily mean gold and golden china, money and so on. Luxury for me is callas, a glass of wine, apples, well painted still lifes, a hat, a high-heeled shoe.Those things make a picture look abundant and rich. The person who introduced me to that topic was T. Lempicka, I'd say she overexaggerated the idea. I like her still lifes with china plates ornamented in gold, apples or pearls. She was especially fond of callas and here I pay homage to her with my modest drawing. The woman is holding the calla. For me it is a substitute of luxury.
Have a nice watching, Ela.
