"What we’re looking at is a painting or were we suddenly catapulted to another planet and we are the protagonists of a futuristic dream? This is the feeling that provokes us the artwork of Olivia Stocheci, Romanian artist who speaks through
the colors. “Sometimes at night paintings are revealed to me” said the artist, “other times I draw inspiration from nature or fables.”.
And here is the result, a magnificent spectacle before our eyes. The protagonists are jellyfish, ancient animals present in all seas and oceans; however, here, they do not seem to swim, but rather fly. To create this sensation is the presence in the background of a night sky covered with shining stars.
We can also see the Milky Way in the center, cut diagonally the artwork, and at the top right the trail of a falling star. Olivia Stocheci manages to unite, as if they were one, the sea and the sky, the Earth and the Universe. She realizes this union using bright colors, even more than those used by the Fauves in the early 1900s and that had shocked the public so much that they, in fact, attributed to them the name of Fauves: wild beasts.
In the lower part of the work, we can see flowers (or perhaps algae?) swaying in the wind (or perhaps in the waves?). This is the magic of the emerging artist’s works: with her tiny brushstrokes of colour, so skillfully juxtaposed, she succeeds, as she wanted, in "to convey emotions, states of mind, or ideas disguised as symbols, which you can decrypt in many ways.".
“Celestial Jellyfish” is a work full of movement, dynamic, but it is above all
something new, something that captures the viewer and does not allow him to look away. At the same time, however, it is also a work that expresses the entire artistic essence of the artist. A magical, active, optimistic and contemporary
essence."
