In my watercolor, at the center of the composition, stands a proud iris in all its extraordinary beauty. The main color of the petals oscillates between a deep violet and a delicate shade of yellow, with subtle blue accents that add depth and mystery. The petals are highlighted in places by white patches, lending a sense of lightness to the entire composition, making the flower appear as if it is almost floating. The background, in green and yellow hues, transitions from deep darkness at the bottom to lighter shades above, further emphasizing the contrast between the iris's fragility and the heaviness of the surrounding landscape.

The iris, known as a symbol of renewal and hope, has inspired artists and poets for centuries. In literature, it symbolizes not only beauty but also the longing for transcendence, a perfection that is difficult to capture. In Dante's "Inferno," the flower appears in the context of a spiritual journey, with its petals becoming a metaphor for the soul's desire for purification.

For me, the iris is a flower that embodies both strength and fragility, vitality and ephemerality. In painting it, I sought to convey these contradictions, which we also encounter within ourselves. For art connoisseurs and nature lovers alike, my watercolor presents a perfect opportunity to own a work that will serve as a reminder of the beauty of life – the elusive balance between light and shadow.

I invite you to purchase this painting – a unique opportunity to add a piece to your collection that will not only adorn your space but also enrich it with profound symbolic meaning.
