The basis of the impressionistic method, which can be called the quintessence of painting, is the perception and depiction of objects in the reality surrounding the artist, not autonomously, but in relation to the surrounding spatial and light-air environment: reflexes, glare. , warm-cold relationships of light and shadow; in a broader sense to embrace space and time itself. This is both the strength and weakness of the impressionistic method. By focusing on tonal relationships and meanings, painters weakened drawing, composition, and the sense of form and materiality of the depicted objects. Combining color and shape is not an easy task. The discord between color and form became a stumbling block for the next generation of post-impressionist artists.

Therefore, one of the main principles of the Impressionists was the principle of conveying shades. Artists conveyed those shades of color that an object acquires at a certain time of day (C. Monet).

I have always been fascinated by the works of the expressionists and decided to transfer this idea to the creation of silk scarves. The series is called “Blue Poppy”, in which I look at one flower at different times of the day. I used the cold batik technique to create weightless chiffon scarves.

Here you can see the the first sketch on paper and how it transforms into a hand painted silk with satin sheen using naturally set pigments,  with hand rolled edge with silk thread fnishing.

Each silk scarf is a unique piece, an essential accessory that would complement any outfit and can be worn many ways.

Sized at 66 * 66 cms or 18" x 18" - exact dimensions may vary +/- 2 cms as this scarf has a hand-rolled. finish

This  series is dedicated to my dear friend and soul mate Anna T.
