Midea - The windowsill on life

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Midea's style, as can be seen in this work, often leans toward a kind of illusory hyperrealism, whose fictional nature is so overt that it paradoxically reaches a surreal aesthetic. The artist eschews atmospherics or other pictorial effects, aiming to reveal the subject in a glossy material that enhances its volume. There is also a certain naive element to this type of interpretation, which simplifies reality for aesthetic purposes.

Midea is the pseudonym of Mirella De Angelis, a painter born in 1936. Her favorite subjects are plants, floral themes, or clown figures. Her artistic language can essentially be defined as naive realism, deliberately simplifying reality to a trivial extent.
