Journey into Light

Mamuka Dideba, Morning, Autumn Prelude series, 2017, oil on canvas, 110 x 105cm

Paradoxically for a blog, this post has very few words. Continuing the theme of light, I was going to write about colour theory and colour psychology, even taking a detour into Carl Jung’s colour personality theory. But there are times when images need to speak their own truth. So let’s take a journey into Mamuka Dideba’s creations, where imperceptible gradations of colour and light lead us down the corridors of our imagination.

COOL FACT

Dideba (b. 1968, Georgia) is a master of both figurative and abstract. His art is a unique expression of the wonder, subtle humour, and the often surreal and warm philosophical outlook that is quintessential of Georgia.

He paints in the Old Master imprimatura technique which requires great skill and patience and which gives his works an inner glow.
