"A Moment to Be Found No. 3" by Maya Gelfman: A Winter's Tale in Fluorescent Hues

Maya Gelfman's "A Moment to Be Found No. 3" is an enchanting acrylic and marker on canvas that captures the surprising vibrancy of a European winter. Available at Apricus Art Collection, this piece, measuring 28" x 37" (72/93 cm), offers a unique perspective on the interplay between dormancy and life, inspired by the artist's time in a rural forest on the banks of the river Aude.

Gelfman spent the winter in a capsule of weather nestled between the Pyrenees and Black Mountains. There, she witnessed a captivating phenomenon: the typically monochromatic European winter landscape merging with the colors of spring. Tiny purple and pink flowers bloomed throughout the season, while fluorescent moss in greens and yellows adorned tree barks and stones. This unexpected fusion of colors sparked the creation of "A Moment to Be Found No. 3."

A Conversation Between Reality and Art

Gelfman beautifully articulates the challenges of translating reality onto canvas. She notes that what works in real life doesn't always translate seamlessly into a painting (and vice versa). "A Moment to Be Found No. 3" represents one sentence in a larger conversation between reality, the artist's perception, and the finished work. It's a testament to her skill and artistry in capturing the essence of a fleeting moment.
