Dance of the Shells
Marina, RomainiaPoetic representation of two open shells touching, creating the space between them as if they are dancing and the spiral of the snail that adds the gravity, a quiet pull that draws the composition downward and holds it in balance.
This piece explores symmetry, balance, and interaction through organic structure. Shell forms curve inward, meeting at their edges while deliberately preserving the negative space between them. That central space becomes as important as the forms themselves, a constructed void shaped by contact.
The shells suggest movement rather than stillness. Their ribbed texture and layered shading emphasize growth, erosion, and the passage of time - qualities inherent to natural marine forms. By arranging them in a circular composition, the work transforms individual elements into a unified system, where tension and harmony coexist.
The Designer
I am an old soul, inspired by spaces rich in character and filled with life. As both a painter and an opera singer, I express myself through a soft, imaginative language rooted in my love for nature and the whimsical.
My artistic practice is shaped by a dynamic tension between geometric structures and organic forms, drawing from cubism while remaining deeply connected to natural rhythms. I favor warm color palettes and seek to evoke a vintage atmosphere in my work, creating paintings that feel timeless and evocative.
I am endlessly fascinated by old, mysterious, and fantastical elements, and I strive to weave these qualities into both my art and my way of living.
