About Iris Pallida:
One day in early June, walking near one of my favourite destinations – the Urbani pond – I came across this bush of irises. Their colour was so intense that I decided to document them for some future work. But once in my studio, they demanded a painting all for themselves.
The golden spandrels are a quote from the famous pre-Raphaelite painting 'April Love' by Arthur Hughes. In an effort to get the precise shade of purple, I was thinking of the girl’s dress.
A sketch on parchment paper is also available.

Cinzia Marotta is a nature oil painter living and working in Umbria, Italy. Her realistic, but somewhat magical style is grounded by hard research and a scientific approach, aimed at capturing the mysterious, dark side of a natural world in stark contrast to an anthropocentric vision of our reality and culture.
As a teen, she studied in the atelier of famous Italian painter Pietro Sabatini, but then life took on a different path. After twenty years as an AD in a small company, she dropped everything to return to her art.
