Original artwork description:

Euphoria II 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.

I have carefully adjusted the colors of this artwork to reflect them as closely as possible to the original. However, please note that variations in lighting, display settings, daylight, and viewing angle may cause slight differences in color perception. The artwork’s appearance may vary depending on your screen and the environment in which it is viewed.
