Painting by I.Žeigure – Dandelions

I. Žeigure's painting – Dandelions: A moment that flies away with the wind

I. Žeigure's painting – Dandelions is a visual fragment of a poem – it depicts dandelions in their transitional stage, when the flower turns into a wind toy. This work speaks to anyone who has ever held their breath in childhood to blow on a dandelion and whisper a wish. Ilvija's painting is exactly about this – about lightness, freedom and the beauty of transition.

A dance of light and color

The painting is dominated by a soft, light-filled palette – yellow, green, pink and blue colors merge in a wavy harmony. In the foreground – detailed dandelions and their seeds in various stages of development: from full, round flowers to those already scattered in the wind.

I. Žeigure's painting – Dandelions gives the feeling that the wind has just blown across the field. The painting not only depicts, but also allows you to feel – how the reflections of light rays and the lightness of the fluff gently touch the viewer's consciousness.

Dynamics without movement

Although the painting is static, there is a noticeable sense of movement – the seeds like moments in the air that will soon disappear. The color transitions in the background – from greenish yellow to purple and dark blue – create depth and conjure a sense of the end of the day, as the sun slides down and the shadows grow longer.

The composition of this artwork is fluid, containing both stillness and life. I. Žeigure's painting – Dandelions is like a breath between spring and summer – as brief as it is unforgettable.

Symbolic meaning

Dandelions in art often symbolize desire, hope, fragility, and transition. Ilvija Žeigure presents this symbolism with a sensitive yet mature handwriting. This painting is not just a depiction of nature – it is a reflection on life, on the beauty of the moment, and on the moment that must be caught before it disappears.
