Virgo Shelly Bartek

The composition presents a female figure centrally positioned within a landscape dominated by golden hues. She is draped in flowing green fabric that partially reveals her form, and a crown of small blue flowers adorns her head. The woman holds a flute to her lips, suggesting music or perhaps an invocation. Her gaze is directed outward, conveying a sense of contemplation or observation.
Behind the figure rises a dense field of golden grain, illuminated by a large, circular sun positioned in the upper left quadrant. This creates a radiant backdrop that emphasizes the abundance and warmth associated with harvest time. A scattering of blue flowers mirrors those in her crown, extending the motif of natural beauty throughout the scene.
At the lower left corner, an owl perches on a small mound of earth, its presence adding a layer of symbolic complexity. Owls are often linked to wisdom, knowledge, and intuition, suggesting a deeper understanding or insight connected to the central figure. In the foreground, near the base of the composition, is a stylized representation of a glyph – a symbol that appears to be an astrological sign.
The color palette is predominantly warm, with yellows and oranges conveying feelings of prosperity, vitality, and optimism. The green fabric introduces a contrasting element of growth and renewal. The overall effect is one of idealized beauty and harmony between humanity and nature. Subtly, the work seems to explore themes of fertility, abundance, and perhaps a connection to ancient traditions or mythology. The figure’s posture and expression suggest a quiet confidence and an intimate relationship with the natural world around her.
