Painting description

"The Moment Before the Abduction of Persephone" is a large, decorative painting with a rich, luminous palette. The young woman depicted pauses for a moment among pulsating flowers, unaware of her impending destiny. It's a frozen second between light and darkness, between innocence and the entrance into a new phase of life. The elaborate, geometric-organic shapes of the flowers create a fairytale garden, where every detail captivates the eye. Intense yellows, reds, and blues intertwine in impasto paint strokes, giving the scene a slightly abstract yet deeply emotional character. The painting references the mythical tale of Persephone, yet interprets it in a contemporary and poetic way—as a moment of hesitation, pause, and breath just before a great change. This work is both symbolic and decorative, ideal as a powerful accent in a large space, full of color and inner light.
