About the Item
The canvas comes alive with "African Princess," a painting that serves as a tribute to the elegance and allure of the African woman. The portrayal of the princess is nothing short of enchanting – her regal presence and captivating features pay homage to the rich cultural heritage that she represents. The artist's meticulous attention to detail showcases the delicate nuances of her beauty, from the graceful contours of her face to the intricate patterns of her attire.
What truly sets this painting apart is the incorporation of a cup of tea, held delicately in the princess's hand. This seemingly simple element adds a layer of depth and symbolism to the artwork. The cheerful expression on her face as she sips the hot tea transcends the canvas, transmitting a sense of joy that is palpable to every viewer. It's as if her joy is a contagious energy, one that spreads to anyone who gazes at her.
The act of sipping tea, often associated with moments of tranquility and introspection, takes on a profound significance in this painting. It serves as a reminder that amidst the complexities of life, taking a pause for reflection and conversation can provide clarity and rejuvenation. The warmth of the tea mirrors the warmth of the princess's smile, inviting viewers to partake in her experience of finding solace and renewal through simple, everyday actions.
The message embedded within "African Princess" is one of resilience and optimism. The artwork speaks to the idea that even in the face of challenges and difficulties, one can choose to embrace happiness. The cheerful countenance of the princess is a visual representation of the strength that lies within her, a strength that enables her to radiate joy despite any adversities that may come her way.
In a world where each day brings its own set of trials and tribulations, "African Princess" serves as a source of inspiration. It reminds us that every morning is an opportunity to start anew, cast aside the burdens of yesterday, and embrace the potential of today. The act of sipping tea becomes a metaphor for the small, yet impactful, choices we make to infuse our lives with positivity and happiness.
"African Princess" is more than a mere painting; it's a visual story that celebrates the beauty of the African woman, the power of joy, and the strength of the human spirit. Theophilus Chima's artistic prowess breathes life into this canvas, creating a masterpiece that captures both the eye and the heart. As we gaze upon the cheerful countenance of the princess, holding her cup of tea, we are reminded that happiness is a choice that can be made regardless of circumstances – a choice that has the potential to transform our lives in the most profound ways.

- Large Italian Modernist Surrealist Lady Mod Oil Painting "La Ragazza Ungherese"By Lazzaro DonatiLocated in Surfside, FLLazzaro Donati (Italian, 1926-1977), Framed oil painting "La Ragazza Ungherese" The Hungarian Girl. Dated 1961. Framed: 36.25 x 28.5 inches. In good condition. Lazzaro Donati was born in Florence and attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He began to paint in 1953, and in 1955 held his first exhibition at the Indiano Gallery in Florence. Within three years eleven exhibitions followed in Italy, and as his reputation grew he was invited to give major exhibitions in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. He is considered one of the foremost contemporary Italian painters and his paintings hang in museums and private collections throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. His work i faucist recalling the works of the french Raoul Dufy, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Francois Gall and jean Jansem. Donati lived and worked at 24 Piazza Donatello in Florence, the square where generations of artists have created works worthy of the great Florentine tradition. As you entered the narrow hallway to his studio, a gilded life-size Venetian angel beckoned you to his door. Once inside, the present faded away and you found yourself in an atelier where early masters might have worked during the Renaissance. Within, luxurious Persian rugs set off the innumerable objects d’art and antique furnishings. Light poured in through the sloping glass wall on the north side. A dramatic stairway led to an overhanging balcony which served as a private gallery where the artist hung some of his favorite early works. To the left of the entrance was a smaller studio where Donati sculpted, with a window overlooking the famous old English cemetery where tourists laid flowers on the grave of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In the main studio itself, where Donati received his clients in an atmosphere as polished as an office of a top executive, one hardly realized that it was here that the artist actually painted. His easel was covered with Persian blue velvet, the painting on the easel was already framed, his chair was upholstered in red velvet and on his palette the colors were arranged with the precision of a Byzantine mosaic. In a corner stand were his latest works, framed and ready to be sent off to his next exhibition in Europe or America. He spoke fluent French and English as well as some Spanish and German. “After all”, he said, “you've got to know how to sell...Category

- Home FireBy Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "HOME FIRE OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED CUBAN-AMERICAN, C.2006 20 X 16 INCHES Home Fire" brings me back to my childhood home when my grandpa visited us every day smoking his pipe and conversing good moments. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...Category
