Original artwork description:

Euphoria I by Irina Maier is a vibrant celebration of life and new beginnings, depicted through the lively flight of kingfishers against a gilded golden background. Each kingfisher is skillfully rendered, capturing the joyful energy and freedom of these stunning birds in motion. The predominant blue tones evoke a calming sense of serenity, beautifully contrasted with the gold, symbolizing warmth and excitement.

Inspired by the artist’s own journey returning home after years in a tropical paradise, this piece embodies the euphoric anticipation of starting anew. Irina’s unique technique of layering gold leaf creates a luminous effect, inviting viewers to experience the joy and optimism of embracing change. Based in Germany, Irina Maier uses her art to express themes of transformation, beauty, and peace.
