Phlox


Night Candy:
I´ve choosen a spcial flower,Night Phlox, Zaluzianskya Capensis or “Night Candy”. Tiny in their appearance they blossom at night and gives out a strong indescribable sweet scent of Vanilla, almond or chocolate.

Night Phlox Art: An introduction

Night Phlox Art

Night, for me is the time to wonder in a dream, a retreat from everyday errands and stink into the deep and dig out inspiration. I´ve chosen a visual concept without using any form of text , only to left the audience to dictate. Their eyes speak for them.

Taken from a few lines by a Russian poert,Boris Paternak I picked up a few lines of: The Night Proceeds and dwindling:



The night proceeds and dwindling
Prepare's the day's rebirth.
An airman is ascending
Above the sleeping earth.
And almost disappearing
In cloud, a tiny spark,
He now is like a cross-stitch,
A midget laundry-mark.
Beneath him are strange cities,
And heavy traffic-lanes,
And night-clubs, barracks, stokers,
And railways, stations, trains.
The shadow of his wing-span
Falls heavy on the cloud.
Celestial bodies wander
Around him in a crowd.
And there, with frightful listing
Through emptiness, away
Through unknown solar systems
Revolves the Milky Way...

Design Plot:

Capture a balance between the contrasts of the world of Night and day and be able to paint it in Acrylic. And be able to illustrate the different worlds that the character lives in.
