Immaculata Conceptio
Description
«The Immaculate Conception» or «The Dress of the 10 000 flowers» describes Anastasia’s appearance from beyond the natural origins of possibilities.
The flower elements are hand-painted on organza fabric. Each petal went through a separate technological process: drying, cutting, and shaping for volume. The flowers were designed in style of artistic realism and applied by knotting among branches embroidered with gold metallic thread to create a visual effect in two perspectives: in direct light, the dress is visually complex, and in indirect light, where the dress sparkles, the erogenous zones of the woman’s body are finely outlined…
«Immaculata Conceptio is the beginning of my love story with Anastasia, my imaginary friend, whom I first saw in the old cemetery. There, the Nature governed the silence, and I spotted Anastasia climbed in a cherry tree, among branches laden with flowers. She seemed dressed in Spring itself. That was the moment when I experienced the legend of the stepping into manhood.
