This striking piece took the artist 60 days to complete, and the portrait abandons the brush in favor of a needle dipped in paint, channeling the precision of pointillism with the spontaneity of Surrealism. Spirals bloom across the composition and frame, echoing Calder’s kinetic forms and Dalí’s dream logic. The subject’s classical poise is disrupted by the whimsical intrusion of a winged cherub and vibrant, swirling motifs. Each mark is a puncture of intention, transforming the act of painting into a tactile, almost sculptural performance. A rare fusion of control and fantasy, this work invites connoisseurs to witness technique as concept.
This work is framed.
