The World As The Lord Offers 2021

Daria Theodora painted 'The World As The Lord Offers' with a delicate touch using watercolour. The surface shimmers with dreamy pastel tones, like a child’s fairytale. I imagine her poised over the paper, coaxing the colours to bloom and mingle, pushing the paint around to create the composition. Look at the precision of the details, the goat's monocle, the floral blooms – it's as if she painted in a trance, allowing this enchanting scene to reveal itself. There’s a gorgeous weirdness, with a suited frog, and a girl, perhaps the artist, riding on a goat, surrounded by blooms and toadstools. Watercolour is like that, so alive and transparent, it’s easy to fall in love with the process, and each brushstroke is like a little discovery. It’s about embracing the unexpected, much like life itself, which Theodora captures beautifully here. Like a conversation between you and the colours, echoing through time and space.
