The mystery of nature lies even within the simple fact that flowers have scents, and small insects gather to collect floral nectar. I created this "Melody of Peace" inspired by the French saying "Un ange passe (An angel is passing)" to portray a world born from a single phrase, where peaceful and orderly natural mystique exists. I painted floral fairies that are said to live in the forests of Athens. In my imagination, the fairies are playing musical instruments in a field of flowers filled with energy and brilliance.
