"AMARANTHINE" new painting

Acrylic/mixed media on canvas 75x115 cm / 29,5x45 inch

 

Meaning:

1.Immortal, undying, eternally or unfading beautiful.

2.A deep purple-red color. Like the flowers of the Amaranthus Caudatus.

 

Amaranthine is rooted in the Greek word amarantos, meaning "immortal" or "unfading" and in amarantus, the Latin name of a flower.

In the 18th century Amarant was a common girls name in the Netherlands.

 

Now being immortal or to stay beautiful forever is something people discuss about often.

It seems attractive to be immortal. However, if everyone around you is dying, why would you want to be immortal? And what would it lead to if no one could die?

A considerable industry has sprung up to preserve an 'unfading beauty'.

Indeed, the perishable preoccupies us.
