Liebe Marina sehr schöne Bilder Aquarelle die 4 finde ich besonders schön einfach toll einen schönen Freitag ein super Wochenende und 2 Advent das wünscht dir Klaus mit ganz lieben Grüßen Klaus
Ah, vielen Dank, lieber Klaus. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen schönen Wochenende und glücklich Vollmond. 🙂
Love this work of art Marina.. As above so below…. love how your colours merge and contrast… xxx.. So missed coming over.. but glad to be catching up at last.. it may well take me some time before I catch up with all my regular friends LOL.. but its so good to see what you have been up to… Is this a new back ground too? or is it just that I have been absent for so long! 😉 xxxx
Welcome back, my dear Sue!!! So glad to see you here! ‘As Above…’ is an on going series I began a couple of years ago [you can see here: https://marinakanavaki.com/category/as-above-so-below/%5D but hadn’t done any for some time now. Working on ‘In Limbo’ lead me back to it. In a sense they both have the same origin. So happy you like it! Happy September, new week and 3rd supermoon [in a row] ahead! 🙂 xxxx
Yes the Supermoons are having their affects me thinks! 🙂 and I am using the energy in a positive way… I tried to visit the link you gave me above but it just lead me to error 404.. LOL…
But I found one of my old paintings of a tree I did a couple of years back.. I too named it the same.. As above so below.. How cool is that.. Hope this link works to take you to the slide its on in my gallery.

As always I love these pieces. This is the first time I’ve noticed though that the ‘reflection’ is not a true reflection at all. This, along with the more obvious change of colours has me asking all sorts of questions in my mind about what you were signifying by this – questions for which I don’t want answers because that’s the whole point of art, is it not? To question for oneself the meaning for us and for life. I love your work because it always provokes such thoughts!
Ken, my friend, it makes me so happy what you’re saying and your observations… of course I wouldn’t give answers! I chose to speak in shapes and colors, not words, so why verbalize it! Thanks so much, my dear friend! Happy BRIGHT new week ahead! 🙂
Incredibly beautiful, Marina. The color, the intent, the elegance. LOVE 🙂
Awww, so glad you like it, Elena! Means so much! 🙂 xx
one maker of heaven and earth, after all. hi Marina. x tony
Yes, my dear Tony! 🙂 Hi, my friend! 🙂
Wow! Amazing work, color and combination are wonderfully conceptualized, Really liked it…
Thank you very much for your kind words and visit, Nihar! 🙂
So beautiful dear Marina! ❤️
Hope you had a great weekend dear friend😃❤️
xxx
Thank you, my dear Violet! Yes, it was a nice quiet weekend! Happy week, my dear! 🙂 xx
Love this one! Beautiful, Marina!
Thank you, my dear friend and thank you so much for your kind support!!! 🙂

Above… a clear reference to your Cloud #9 home on Mt. Olympus.
Below… that would be Earth, where we humble mortals dwell.
Which leads me to conclude that your work is a “gift from the gods”– well, OK, one in particular– which enriches our lives here below.
In fact, I feel so “enriched” when I gaze upon your work, I’m worried I may have to pay additional income tax. I must consult with my accountant… : )
Lovely work, my dear Marina!! : )
Away with words like tax!!!!
In this world here there are no such things! Just colors!
And since …As Above So Below, that cloud is everywhere or should I say that is the cloud I am riding ever from the moment I read your comment!
Thank you, my friend. Wishing you a beautiful Monday and new week …and New Moon! 🙂
Lovely Sunny set!
Ah, thank you, Alexander! 🙂

The reflection is poignant in the way you interpreted it! Gorgeous!

Wow, Marina! What a beautiful combination of colors. I wish I could wear these. 🙂
Aww, thank you, my dear Nandini! So happy you like them!! 🙂
I love your taking “nature” and carry it in your wonderful figurative art… each design is a masterpiece! I’m thinking since a couple of weeks to a project that is locked away in my soul’s drawer .. I’ll write the idea to you, and who knows… if it’s roses, they’ll bloom! Kiss :-)c
I’m sure it’s roses and it will bloom!!!!!!! Roses are the only ingredient in your soul, my dear Claudine! Thank you for your beautiful words! 🙂 xx
Beautiful design on this piece Marina! Wonderful complementary and play on colors. Happy Thursday!
Thank you, my dear Mary. I am so pleased you like it! Happy Thursday to you too!!! 🙂 xx
Magnificent interpretation, magnificent colour combination and texture… Love it!
Ah, thank you so much, Jean-Jacques!! 🙂
Splendid ..Marina..:-)
Thank you, my dear Sriram!! 🙂
I love the reflection shining through your painting 🙂
Thank you, Andy for your beautiful words!! 🙂
You are so welcome! Always a pleasure visiting your beautiful art 🙂
…and always a pleasure seeing you here! 🙂
🙂 🙂
Simply beautiful, Marina! I really like all the close up shots of your work too!
xo
Ah, thank you, my dear Deb!! So glad you like it! Happy Thursday! 🙂 xx
Gorgeous, gorgeous colours!
Oh, thank you, thank you, Steven!!!!! 🙂
The tree makes me hungry for Dots gumdrops! Seriously love the layering though.
I too have a sweet tooth! Could be that it took over my brush! 😉 Thank you, my friend! 🙂
Interesting how the reflection appears as I too examined more closely. Thus, Isadora’s comment sparked a thought I hadn’t considered. Although I don’t think that was your intent, I also realize that artist’s appreciation knowing what other’s see/think rather than sharing their own thoughts about representation. Well done!
It’s true that I never describe or offer an interpretation of my work. Clues are given of course in the titles …usually, but this is as far as I wish [or not in this case] to ‘influence’ the viewer. There’s a multitude of emotions a painting can evoke, why guide them? Not to mention that many times a painting reveals hidden paths even from its ‘creator’! So, yes, I always enjoy reading interpretations of something I did. Thank you, my dear friend and thank you for always being so supportive! 🙂
Expressive vibrant colors showcasing the high and low of the inner self.
Powerful Marina, yet delicate. 😘
Beautiful interpretation, my dear friend! I am so happy you like it, Isadora. 🙂 hugs xx
interesting that after your limbo series you felt yourself to be there and now refreshed as above and below! Looks really lovely as a wall hanging
p.s. saw an exhibition at National Gallery about ‘Making Colour’ – you many find the vid of orgins and uses of pigments as fascinating as I did
http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/channel/making-colour/
🙂 nice observation! That video was amazing, fascinating indeed! Like Scrooge McDuck enjoyed diving in his gold coins, we enjoy diving in colors!!!!! 😉
