Zen (blue orange) (2017)Acrylic painting by Catalin Ilinca

“Spiritually is finding the truth in you.”
― Wes Adamson


This artwork is about equilibrium, a state of perfect balance between opposite elements that coexist and complement each other. Just like blue and orange put together, a visual metaphor that could perfectly stand for fire and water, light and darkness, power and weakness, self control and fear.

All the elements in this artwork tend to reach the equilibrium and complement each other.

It belongs to my "Magic Expressionism" series. It is not expressionism, surrealism, post-modernism, or new abstract etc. It's a paraphrase to the concept of "Magic Realism" - that generally describes the well known artistic movement in the South American Literature, but not only -, brought to the field of visual arts.


- the exact size is 145 x 97 cm / 57.1 x 38.18 inches.
- I applied to it more isolating layers of satin final varnish.
- it has about 6-7 cm (2.5 inches) extra white margin on the edges, in order to be stretched on wooden frame later on.

===============
It will be shipped rolled, in a hard tube. I recommend taking the artwork to a professional framer, in order to have it re-stretched.
