SNOW FAIRY (2023)Oil painting
by Paola Imposimato

A painting inspired by the myth of fairies and the magic of snow, a symbol of purity due to its white color, but also of rebirth and transformation of what lies beneath its white blanket. In many countries around the world, it has been associated with mythological figures and deities: I have created an imaginary portrait of the “Snow Fairy,” infusing it with the delicacy and strength of a suspended moment, in the reverberation of snow and light. The nuances and details express intense emotions balanced between reality and dream, allowing the magical creature to emerge. When called, she arrives enveloped in a whirlwind of snow, or “riding a ship of light surrounded by thousands of snowflakes that fall from the sky and settle on farmyards and orchards.” According to ancient legend, once humans encountered fairies, they acquired immortality and were subtracted from the world of normal living beings. The artwork will bring a magical and refined energy to your home, inviting introspection and wonder.
