Size:42 x 42 in. Emilija Pasagic's "Delicately Beautiful" is a stunning painting on canvas, measuring 36" x 36". Known for her unconventional techniques, Emilija began her artistic journey with intricate semi-abstract still lifes and figures on silk. In this work, she continues to push the boundaries of creativity with her mastery of encaustic painting, a method that blends beeswax and oil paint to create layered, textured compositions. In "Delicately Beautiful," the delicate, almost ethereal nature of the floral imagery is highlighted by soft hues of blue, purple, and pink, creating an atmosphere of quiet grace. The abstracted blooms appear to dance across the canvas, their fragile stems standing tall against a dreamy, tranquil background. The harmonious colour palette, accented with bold strokes of green, enhances the light, airy feel of the painting, imbuing it with a sense of calm and serenity. Emilija's meticulous layering technique and subtle use of scratching add depth to the painting, while her occasional use of gold leaf offers a modern touch to her traditional approach. This painting is a fine example of Emilija’s ability to balance the delicate with the dynamic, showcasing her unique style that has garnered her a devoted following across Canada and the USA. Born in the former Yugoslavia, Emilija now resides in Canada, where she continues to explore and evolve her artistic practice, delighting collectors and art lovers alike with her expressive, semi-abstract works.
