Gentle, pretty, delicate, ornate and luxurious – all words to describe this jewel of a medium/small painting. With a white base and coffee swirls, colourful flowery-petal like accents are encrusted in generous gold to give an opulent and rich presence. Perfect for framing – go large in whites or small and bright in pink/cobalt blue/yellow/peach/orange/gold to elevate your luxurious space with an air baroque opulence.

This is an original abstract artwork is the first in the 2022 Vintage Collection Season 2, the aim of which is to transport the viewer from the everyday modern world to a bygone time when intense colour and indulgent texture were the essence of luxury, modernity and wealth.The colours in this artwork have taken inspiration from those I’ve observed in posters and postcards from the 1920’s. – 40’s. The shapes and patterns have been inspired by lacy and silky materials, and by the art deco style.

In practical terms, I’ve chosen to keep these artworks small for two reasons. Firstly for myself, I have an awful lot of artworks and so storage is always an issue – smaller artworks take up less room. And secondly, for framing purposes. I see these artworks going to homes where the owner will enjoy the process of choosing just the right frame for the artwork – bright, gilded, fussy or modern – I think the intensity of these artworks will be further enhanced by a frame. Framing is costly, but a smaller artwork requires less frame.. so hopefully the cost will be proportional to your enjoyment of this piece.
