MIRON SCHMÜCKLE
Miron Schmückle’s delicate paintings and their Latin titles, trick the viewer to fall for the pre-conceived idea that they are something they are not. Hidden behind apparent botanical illustrations, the beauty of nature presents itself in the paintings in its most pure state, only to let the viewer discover through observation, that the plant-like elements depicted are fruit of the artist’s imagination. Schmückle exaggerates the beauty of nature, creating artificial life with flowers that don’t belong to the Earth. The colours merge delicately within the shapes that enclose them. Applied on the surface, the Indian ink reproduces the vivid shades found in jungles and forests.
