Original artwork description:

The setting sun in Paris spreads a pearly pink glow and sends blushing shades of beauty on you. The garden is like a sea of flowers, from the most delicate baby pink to green and blues. There is a party atmosphere in the evening air, a burst of pink champagne and shining stars. Shades of beauty are everywhere, and the beautiful hostess has a pink flower in her hair. It’s Party Time in Paris my friends, enjoy!

By building up many layers of texture and colour, using brushes and palette knives, Angelika creates a rich surface and vibrant relationships between random shapes and deliberate markings in her work. She also uses charcoal and oil pastels to heighten the botanical impressions and create depth and movement in her paintings. The drips in Angelika’s work illustrate the endless cycle of growth and decay in organic structures, which again is a reflection of life itself.

The botanical forms on the canvas are inspired by flowers but in an abstract way in order to create a visual language that gives the viewer room for their own interpretations and dialogues. There is a constant awareness in her work to create translucency and light within the paintings and to show the ethereal beauty of nature.
