Description
Artist: Erika Farkas
Medium: Oil on canvas
Peacock Dream is part of my Altered Realism series.
By juxtaposing realistic style with abstract fantasy elements, I tried to create an interesting visual contrast, while symbolizing the harmony and connection between human beauty and the beauty of the natural world.
This painting was made with oil paints on canvas and it is framed in a black floating frame.

I am a self-taught artist with Transylvanian roots living in Ottawa. My greatest passion lies in the realistic portraying of the human form. There is something about the way the body moves and the emotions it can convey that continues to fascinate me. Whether through a stroke of a brush or a simple pencil line, I find myself drawn to exploring these nuances and complexities. From the graceful curves of a woman to the rugged lines of a man, each person holds within them a unique story, a unique perspective. I connect with my subject on a deep level, trying to convey their essence and personality by observing every detail, every line, every shade. It truly is a profound and rewarding experience to create a representation of someone’s essence, and the connection I feel with the figure is something that stays with me long after the artwork is finished.
