About this artwork
This painting represents a perfect world, enclosed in a delicate sphere or bubble. The exuberance of the nature springs from the artist's experience of visiting the rainforests of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. The painting is inspired by medieval representations of the 'terrestrial orb', particularly the masterpiece of medieval art, the Westminster Retable. In medieval versions, the orb generally rests in the hand of Christ, symbolising his… power over the world. In this painting, the hand has been removed, leaving the orb floating in space - an unsupported bubble of paradise, which could burst at any moment.
The painting uses materials and techniques typical of the medieval period - an oak panel, prepared with gesso, gold leaf and paint made from pure pigments hand-ground in egg yolk tempera. The pigments are, for the most part, historical, including red vermilion, blue azurite and vine black.
« I seek to rekindle in contemporary viewers a sense of wonder, awe and tenderness in relation to the world around them. »
Lara Broecke's passion for early Italian art was born while living in Florence. She currently lives in France and paints using early Italian techniques - gold leaf and egg tempera paint, made by hand-grinding pigments in egg yolk, on wooden panels coated with gesso. She marries a medieval sensibility with contemporary compositions, creates rich representations of the natural world and man's relationship to it.
