More about this artwork

In the painting, a serene, elongated figure stands amidst a dense foliage of leaves, which varies in shades from deep greens to soft browns and creams. The figure, appearing ethereal and contemplative, is adorned in an elegant dress with vertical peach and red stripes, giving an impression of both grace and structure. This dress cascades gently, blending subtly into the floral background. Her skin is pale, almost blending with the muted colors of her surroundings, and her hair is stylized in a smooth, flowing manner that contours to the shape of her head. In her gentle hands, she holds a small, delicate bird, indicative of her protective and caring nature, while two other birds beside her seem to be under her watchful eye, adding a sense of tranquility and guardianship to the scene. The overall atmosphere embodies a quiet harmony, suggesting the protective and guiding presence of a guardian angel within a secluded, natural sanctuary.

Artist

Looking at Aurika's paintings, viewers sometimes get the impression that perhaps the artist herself is an extraterrestrial being, but when asked about the main character of her work, Aurika will say that her angels are not biblical; they are metaphors for the goodness that humans spread. These angels bring gifts, protect homes, speak to birds, travel through the seasons and spread hope. The artist herself is also an eternal optimist for whom the glass is always more full than empty, so it is only natural that her positivity is reflected in her work.

"My Angel is always with me, and it's a pleasure when my paintings bring joy, peace and warmth to other people. I don't like publicity: my art is my life! I am happy to paint and to know that my paintings bring joy to people's hearts. We all have our Angels, and they are always by our side," says the artist.

Aurika works with an ancient, now forgotten tempera technique that requires skill and care. The artist herself says that creating details is a kind of meditation for her - she spends a lot of time on it, but at the same time manages to keep her work uncluttered, balanced and elegant. Also, the details always carry a coded message that everyone can decipher in their own way. For example, the black, dark blue in the works is a metaphor for space, while the horizontal lines divide the painting in time (now-later) and space (Earth-unknown).

And the most amazing thing is that, after so many years of working on the same theme, Aurika's paintings are never repetitive, and she is never short of ideas. She says that she often dreams about her paintings and then rushes to the studio to start a new work before the dream  dissapears.
