Dzidra Ezergaile, Untitled, Watercolor on Paper

Untitled

Watercolor on paper, 16x13 cm

The artist has employed watercolor as the medium, which involves diluting pigments with water to create translucent layers and delicate washes of color. This technique often results in a soft and fluid appearance, allowing for a range of expressive possibilities.

In this particular piece, the artist has chosen to explore abstraction, focusing on the interplay between green and black hues. The use of green may evoke various associations such as nature, growth, or renewal, while black can convey notions of darkness, mystery, or depth.

Since the painting is abstract, its interpretation is subjective and open to individual perception. The absence of a specific title further emphasizes the artist's intention to allow viewers to engage with the artwork based on their own emotional responses and personal experiences.
