Eirene Wears a Klimt Kimono

 
30 x 40"
Acrylic and Oil

This is obviously not a daily painting, but is one inspired by Gustav Klimt's portrait 
 of Adele Bloch Bauer, popularly known as The Woman in Gold.
Klimt used lots of symbols in his works and likewise, I have incorporated
symbols in this piece as well. The painting is about serenity and peace. Eirene is the Greek goddess of peace. The crane is a symbol of peace, luck and longevity in Japan.
The cloud patterns or, Kumo, represent hope. The arc patterns,Seigaiha, which can represent calm and quiet, but also resilience. Peace and resilience are much needed
in our turbulent times.
