Description

This mixed-media artwork is inspired by the MAIASTRA bird, from the fairytale written by Petre Ispirescu, inspired from the Romanian folklore. "Maiastra", means masterful or virtuous, and is a beautifully coloured bird, that sings devine music. In Ispirescu's story, Maiastra was what an emperor missed to be able to finish the majestic monastery he wanted to found. In a dream it was revealed to him, that only if the Maiastra Bird was brought, the monestery would get to be finished. The artist imagined an idyllic dreamscape inspired by Transylvania's picturesque landscapes, with thick forests, rare houses, and gorgeous castles. The castle in this artwork is inspired by the Peles Castle from the beautiful Sinaia touristic town. The artwork is mixed-media, in the artist's own personal style, with gold and silver reflections, handmade cotton lace, and lots of relief textures. It is a colourful piece, that reminds of autumnal gorgeous sunset skies.
