About the Item
The Painting and Its Style: "Tulip Mania"
This painting is a prime example of Neo-Expressionism, a movement in the arts that emerged in the late 1970s and is characterized by its bold, emotional, and often controversial subject matter. The painting is divided into three horizontal panels, each of which contains a rich array of symbolic elements that reflect the artist's perspective on the world of finance and politics.
Online Trading Platforms and Symbolic Elements
In the first and third panels, we see the logos of Reddit and WallStreetBet, two popular online platforms for trading stocks and other financial instruments. These logos are rendered in bold, colorful strokes that give them a sense of vitality and excitement. The second panel also shows a large coin with the bitcoin logo on one side, next to it a bear's face and below it a huge dollar symbol.
Portrayal of Donald Trump
Also in the first panel is a caricature of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. The artist has portrayed him as a larger-than-life figure, with a characteristic orange complexion and a comical expression on his face.
The Power of Color and Imagery in the Third Panel
The third panel is perhaps the most striking of all, with its bold use of color and its evocative imagery. Here we see the word FOMO, written in blood red, contained by four pink tulips. This powerful visual metaphor captures the fear of missing out that drives so much of the trading world, and the delicate beauty of the tulips serves as a reminder of the fragility of our financial systems.
The Psychological Effects of Online Trading
Overall, this painting is a commentary on the frenetic world of online trading and the psychological effects it can have on those who participate in it. The bold colors and exaggerated forms of the neo expressionist style convey a sense of urgency and anxiety, reflecting the intense emotions that can be aroused by the pursuit of financial gain.

Diego Tirigall, born in Argentina in 1976 and now residing in Spain, grew up in an environment overshadowed by a hoarding disorder. Immersed in a family of antique dealers and art restorers, his childhood home more closely resembled an overcrowded warehouse brimming with antiquities and works of art awaiting restoration, far from an ideal space for conventional childhood. This setting, saturated with aged and decaying relics, profoundly shaped his youth, sparking within him a rebellious spirit and a deep yearning for liberation. This thirst for liberation found its conduit in art, though not the kind prevalent in his familial surroundings. Tirigall first veered towards digital art, seemingly an effort to dissociate from the haunting memories of his childhood. His artistic rebellion ultimately found resonance in the realms of street art and expressionism—styles celebrated for their spontaneity, dynamism, and refusal to conform to traditional norms. Tirigall's oeuvre offers a critical exploration of contemporary themes, including artificial intelligence, screen addiction, and decentralization. His artistry features recurring elements like vintage robots, skulls, logos, and words, a subtle nod to the profound influence of Basquiat and Warhol on his craft. An autodidact, Tirigall learned through trial and error, sidestepping formal instruction. His successful tenure as a graphic designer and art director equipped him with a unique, deliberately casual approach to handling layers, spaces, forms, and colors—an artful demonstration of his comprehension of the rules he consciously breaks. His works have earned global recognition, with exhibitions spanning from Seoul to Beverly Hills. He has also been featured on the cover of SaatchiArt's "New Masters" catalog. Beyond his creative pursuits, Tirigall invests time helping fellow artists enhance their profiles and promotional strategies. Diego Tirigall's journey, from a childhood circumscribed by restrictions to an artistic career abounding in creativity and acclaim, stands as a compelling testament to rebellion as a catalyst for creativity.
