Using cooler tones of blues and greys, with splashes of purple and red, in this painting Bukovcakova represents a more mellow organic structure comprised of petals, sprouting blooms and rock formations. A red calla lily-shaped flower elegantly sweeps down through the centre of the canvas into the centre of a blue ring of abstract natural matter. The dappled rock formations are discretely and minutely marbled with pink, flesh tones, again alluding to Bukovcakova’s penchant for giving these natural elements humanistic characteristics. The interwoven connection between all the structures describes how intimately nature is entangled, just like human relationships, and must not be disrupted any further.
