LES FLEURS DU MAL (Magenta)

Georg Steidinger l LES FLEURS DU MAL (Magenta)
 Mixed media on canvas, 60x60cm
Inspired by the French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) and his poetry collection Les Fleurs du Mal. A tribute to the existential experiences surrounding the abysses of his time. The beauty and misery of human existence, love and decay. Death and the pursuit of the infinite. A floral inspiration with all its beauty on one hand, yet the transience and fleeting nature of time dominate the scene. A strong, expressive work that convinces as a compact whole with its layered facets, textures, color applications, and print elements, while also offering new perspectives and insights.
