About the art
Artist statement
Nocturne depicts a modern white villa with marble elements, presented in a striking perspective. Among the magnified plants in the background, fireflies float gently. Their lights symbolize beacons of hope, each containing a cherished memory that the viewer can interpret personally. The artwork is rendered in shades of blue, with the lush nature reflected in the villa’s pond, all illuminated by the soft glow of evening light.
The striking contrast between the villa's clean, modern lines and the abundant, untamed nature surrounding it creates a captivating balance. This interplay transforms the tension between architecture and the natural world into a harmonious symbiosis, where the structured design and organic forms complement and enhance one another.
Nocturne invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a dreamlike scene where architecture and nature coexist in perfect harmony. It encourages reflection on the interplay between light and memory, as the glowing fireflies evoke personal connections and cherished moments. The tranquil atmosphere, enhanced by the soft hues of evening light, draws the viewer into a meditative exploration of beauty, balance, and the passage of time.
