Żaneta Biernat - Gaja

The GAJA painting is a work on a board measuring 120 x 40 cm, 20 mm thick, created with mixed media: board, paper, acrylic, pencils, Promarkers. The painting is varnished and lacquered, on a backing, with painted edges; no frame is required.

Gaja is a portrait of a woman painted in the spirit of Art Nouveau. The inspiration was a dress from the Art Deco era, decorated with rich ornamentation, finished with a wide lace band. The portrayed Gaja has beautiful long blonde hair, which falls in the characteristic Art Nouveau flowing, asymmetric, wavy line. The ornaments in the background also echo the fin-de-siècle aesthetics.
