Title: Iris Year: 2021 Dimensions: 50 cm x 70 cm x 1.7 cm Technique: Acrylic pouring and mixed media on canvas (Dutch pour technique with the aid of acrylic markers and traditional brushes to refine lines and details). In Greek mythology, Iris is the personification and goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. According to legend, she had beautiful wings and a coat of many colors, which would create rainbows as she travelled, carrying messages from the gods of Mount Olympus to Earth. Her name later gave the meaning to the word ‘rainbow’ in ancient Greek and, according to many at the time, to the most beautiful flower of all. Artist: Alessandra Deodati
