“Giselle” (2020) 絵画 Dags Vidulejs によって

“Giselle” 160x60cm 2020
Dags Vidulejs author's technique: primed linen canvas texture gray background. The drawing from nature is made with charcoal and chalk. Charcoal drawing requires virtuosity because nothing can be changed. Each line must be in place, as the background structure of the gray transparent linen cannot be primed again.

"Giselle" is a classical ballet theme. Only Dega and Toulouse-Lotrex drew a lot of ballet at the beginning of the last century. Dags spent his childhood in a ballet environment, as his father worked as a director of the Ballet Theater, while his mother, a musicologist, wrote reviews and books about ballet. Taking Dag’s daughter to ballet classes also had the opportunity to sketch a lot of ballerinas outside of performances.

“Giselle” gray color fits and complements any interior. From concrete gray minimalist style to saturated baroque decorative forms. The resigned female image from behind is a rare figural image that is acceptable in the bedroom and office. Because the painting does not depict the features of a particular woman, but when purchasing a painting, any woman can be imagined.
