Description

“Mykonos II” is a captivating and idyllic painting by Inna Orlik, that transports the viewer to the enchanting island of Mykonos, Greece. The focal point of the composition is a pair of iconic Greek windmills, standing tall against the backdrop of the azure Aegean Sea and a pristine blue sky. The windmills, with their whitewashed exteriors and conical roofs, evoke a sense of timeless charm and rural simplicity.

The tranquil sea, painted in varying shades of blue, stretches out to the horizon, its gentle waves reflecting the play of light and creating a sense of calm and serenity. The deep blue of the sea seamlessly merges with the sky, where the heavens are painted in a lighter shade of blue, invoking a feeling of endless, clear, and boundless skies.

In the foreground, a miniature version of Mykonos’ “Little Venice” district comes to life, offering a glimpse of the island’s unique architecture. Whitewashed buildings with colorful doors and shutters line the waterfront, seemingly poised at the water’s edge. These charming structures, adorned with vibrant bougainvillea and wisteria, add a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise serene scene.

“Mykonos II” captures the essence of Mykonos, a destination known for its picturesque landscapes, timeless windmills, and the alluring charm of the Aegean. The painting exudes a sense of tranquility, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the romantic and serene beauty of this Greek paradise.

To stand in front of an Orlik artwork is more than viewing, it is a sensation inspired by a sprawling depth of spirituality, and the currents of history, imagination, and dreams. From myths that survive over time and those images of reverie which often turn a crushing reality into a bearable and almost poetic one. Inna Orlik has thoroughly studied painting and graphic arts, has exhibited her works all over the world, and chose Athens as the base for her passion. In her exclusive style of painting, she masterfully combines the Western technique and the fairy-like mystery of the East. Her compositions are dense, visual facts that create subjection to the viewer as a result of their noble artistry. Whoever stands in front of an Orlik painting sinks, almost unconsciously, into a world of magic where miracles can happen anytime.
