Farewell – By: Arith Härger
“Farewell” – watercolor, gel pen and white marker – 2014
A different kind of work, more children’s-book like and naive. Kind of cute, no?
This is a completely different work from the ones I usually create. The themes of my artistic works are more related to mythology and folklore, and once in a while historical of course, but I always give a dark and sorrowful hint to my traditional works. This time I wanted to create something less bleak and more cheerful and also colourful. It was a challenge to my own mind and mood, “reshaping” my spirit and turning it into something lighter and joyful. The mystical and magical atmosphere is still there, I think, almost mythological too, but I’ve proven to myself that there is no need to use darker colours and darker stories, of my own mind, to create something beautiful and unique.
This is gorgeous… 🙂
Thank you! 😀
