This modern collage creates a fascinating juxtaposition between the real and the imagined worlds. It features two women, both smoking, with one depicted in a realistic style and the other rendered in a style reminiscent of Henri Matisse. The realistic woman, dressed in a vibrant floral dress, exudes an air of elegance and contemplation as she enjoys a moment with her coffee and cigarette. In contrast, the Matisse-inspired woman, painted in bold, expressive brushstrokes and vivid colors, mirrors the pose of the realistic woman but exists in a dreamlike, abstract realm.

-------------------
A wonderful unique gift for fans of Matisse.

✈ VERY QUALITY RELIABLE PACKING.
Base - canvas on a stretcher (the canvas is stretched on a wooden base, the artwork can be hung on the wall using the hanger at the back)

-------------------
Artist statement

The artist seems to explore the intersection of reality and fantasy, suggesting that our imaginations and dreams are as integral to our lives as our real-world experiences. The coexistence of these two figures in one painting underscores the idea that we are constantly navigating between our actual lives and our internal, imaginative worlds.

The painting by Henri Matisse (1869-1954), The woman with the hat, noticed at the autumn salon is one of the outstanding works of this movement. Artists like Maurice de Vlaminck (1876-1958), Raoul Dufy (1877-1947) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) mark this movement.

Bast

Russia

Irina Bast, a contemporary artist from Kazakhstan, infuses her paintings with an original and distinctive style that reflects her soul, energy, and unique perspective on the world. For Irina, art is a multi-faceted expression of herself, and she revels in experimenting with various materials to create beauty beyond traditional paints. Her artistic journey encompasses two distinct directions: mosaic paintings and wall sculpture art. In her quest for creative expression, Irina incorporates decorative found objects, mosaic, plaster, wood, shells, crystals, gemstones, and any material that aligns with her imaginative concepts.

The central theme of Irina's art revolves around the essence of womanhood—capturing the intricacies of life, thoughts, feelings, relationships, and the connection between women and the world.

Her art, brimming with life and joy, has found a global audience, with artworks residing in private collections across the USA, Canada, Italy, England, Russia, Austria, Japan, France, Portugal, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, China, Cyprus, and other countries. Notably, her painting "Marie Antoinette" has become a prized addition to the collection of the ArtMuse Gallery in St. Petersburg.
