Description

A Souk market in the medina of Marrakech is an original painting by Irina Rumyantseva as she studies the beautiful country and culture of Morocco. It was created using acrylic, gold leaf and paper collage depicting a vibrant and bustling Moroccan souk market in the heart of Marrakech. The painting is rich in colour and texture, with layers of intricate details that capture the essence of the vibrant marketplace. The painting is full of traditional Morrocan colours and islamic style patterns.

In the foreground of the painting, the viewer is transported to the heart of the souk, with stalls overflowing with goods as you can imagine vendors haggling with customers. The chaotic yet harmonious atmosphere of the market is conveyed through the dynamic composition of the painting, with multiple figures and objects competing for attention.

The use of acrylic paints and paper collage lends a unique texture and depth to the artwork. The acrylic paints are applied with bold, confident brushstrokes, adding a sense of energy and movement to the scene.

In the background, the painting showcases the distinctive architecture of Medina Marrakech, with intricate patterns and shapes adorning the walls, pathways and buildings. The warm, earthy tones of the buildings contrast with the vibrant hues of the market, creating a sense of balance and harmony within the painting.

The addition of gold leaf to the sky adds a sense of majesty and grandeur to the scene. The gold leaf catches the light and reflects it back to the viewer, giving the impression the sun glistening over the market. The gold leaf also provides a striking contrast to the warm and earthy tones of the buildings and goods on display, creating a sense of balance and harmony within the painting.

Through her paintings, Irina aims to transport the viewer to the heart of Marrakesh and to celebrate the culture and traditions of the city. Her use of bold colors, intricate details, and mixed media techniques creates a sense of depth and movement that truly captures the essence of the city and its people. She wants to express the feeling of being there and the emotions the city evokes in her.
