Gypsy skirt by Lavinia Marin

Huge painting with a field of roses. They has always inspired me. The fact that they are so full, soft and velvety, but also resistant, I think of a delicate, elegant, attractive woman, but at the same time a strong one.
This painting is inspired by the chromatic and design of gypsy skirts. They are made of a very long material, nailed to the floor and have more than 500 folds. The woman's skirt, very colorful, with predominant red, means purification, true love to live and the fire of love, covering the most intimate areas, considered by them - the knee and the ankle. Such clothes are tailored by the big fashion houses, such as Versace, Chanel and others, based on the "purely- impure" doctrine that authentic gypsies respects.
