Lonesome lily, 18x14 inch., 2021 currently on view @albadajelgersmagallery Monet’s translation of the visual experience of water into color is fascinating to me ever since I saw his Water Lily paintings. Water itself has no color yet we see it in ever changing colors. It is a floating surface, such are my paintings (' surfaces) too - Image 4, me 16 years old at Musée d’Orangerie in Paris. - In that regard the “Lonesome lily” can also be read autobiographically - maybe ;) #albadajelgersmagallery #claudemonet #lesnympheas #museedelorangerie #waterlilies #lonesomelily #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #reductiveart #reductivepainting #abstractart #abstractpainting #nycartist #autobiographicalpainting #darkshades
