Original artwork description:

Oil, acrylic, 24ct Manetti Superior Gold Leaf on birchwood - framed in a white-grained wood.
25x25"

(Limited Editions are on a Decor Art Velvet 300gsm Paper with a metallic underlay to resemble the gold effect, with a white circle framing the artwork as shown in the images.)

The artwork was shown at my solo show IN FLIGHT, at The Hyde Gallery, Chiswick London and

The Other Art Fair in London, March 2024 - presented by Saatchi Art.

Sao Paulo is named after Brazil's vibrant city center. We stopped here while traveling & I wanted to capture the Latin American vibes in this piece. Painted with pairing colourways of botanical work from The Flight of Salvador.

The vibrant oil-painted bird bursts with colour against the pale green wash of acrylic and painted twisted vines on the birchwood. Gold leaf is used for the stems of tropical flowers.

The birchwood panel is set on a 24ct gold-leafed wood panel. Creating not only a painting but a sculptured piece of art.

Materials used:

Birchwood, acrylic, oil and 24ct gold leaf
