Paint the Wind
Description
Amid the brilliance of early twentieth-century Vienna, a young woman steps beyond the frame to claim her own life.
Maya Sircos, the daughter of a Greek shipping magnate and an Austrian aristocrat, has never quite belonged in the rarefied world of early twentieth-century Vienna. She moves uneasily through the drawing rooms of a society bound by tradition and appearance. But Vienna is shifting?intellectually and artistically?and Maya, drawn to the city's avant-garde, finds herself at the center of a world in upheaval.
When she becomes the muse and scandalous obsession of a rising Expressionist painter, Maya is cast out by her family. Exiled to her grandparents' home on the remote Greek island of Skiathos, she confronts the solitude imposed upon her. There, challenged by an unexpected encounter, she begins not to pose, but to paint.
To forge her own path, Maya must shatter expectations and confront a world unwilling to recognize the power of a woman's vision.
A story of art, passion, and the will to create.
