Description

Story of ballet and Swan Lake: Get the original artwork from the epic ballet Swan Lake, one of the most popular of all classical ballets. Ballet comes from the Italian word “Balletto” meaning little dance. Tchaikovsky, a leading Russian composer of the late 19th century, is regarded as the master composer of classical ballet, as demonstrated by his scores for Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Sleeping Beauty. He composed Swan Lake in 1875, telling the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse. Read more about the story here.

Artwork creation process: Our ballerina Adriana Garza Coeto, ballet dancer and teacher became our human brush in this masterpiece, performing live in front of an audience in the UK. Her theatrical expressions were captured on camera during her performance and did this dance justice. Each footprint was captured on a blue base, representing the lake in the first act of the ballet Swan Lake. Some footsteps show the dancer circling around the canvas, while others melt with the base color. Adriana our ballerina brought feathers with her, which she used as part of her performance. These randomly fell on the canvas and stuck to the tempera paint. While some areas show the ballerina’s entire shoe, other areas display partial prints together with feathers in a breathtaking color composition. These minor details combined with the dynamic movements of our elegant ballerina, draw the audience closer to the artwork and capture their attention. The outcome is a unique artwork full of contrasts between vibrant base colors and delicate footsteps, leading to fascinating abstract patterns, which resemble a marriage of Yves Klein’s and Jackson Pollock’s masterpieces. The magic of dance and movement is captured and immortalized in this artwork, acting as a reminder of the simplest joys of life.

Customization/ commissioning: The original artwork paired with its art prints, expands the creative horizon while nurturing artistic authenticity and minimalism. Upon request, a set of additional photographic visuals can be purchased as stunning acrylic art prints.
