Mixed Media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed certificate of authenticity.
This painting has been done in acrylic paint, with a pouring medium added and also includes a small amount of silicone. It has then been manually painted over in certain areas for effects. It is mainly painted in pinks, white, black green and a small amount of metalic gold. It is a unique piece and virtually impossible to recreate.
The painting for me depicts the story behind a poem I read as a young girl which was written by Fernando Pessoa in 1913 in which he describes the interaction between sea explorers and a sea monster. It tells the story of man's heroic conquests of the oceans and in particular explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries, in small boats, deprived of fresh food, often lost, courageous, but also afraid. The artwork for me symbolizes their inner fears and feelings as they neared the edge of the world and imagined what lay ahead. The title of the poem is "O Mostrengo" which literally means The Monster. This abstract artwork is unique, will enhance any space, inlcuding office and home. It comes with a certificate of Authenticity and a signature at the back.
