Antony SquizzatoDans sa coquille (In Its Shell), Contemporary Semi Abstract Acrylic Painting
About the Item
"Dans sa coquille" (In Its Shell) by Antony Squizzato is a stunning abstract artwork featuring a stylized snail rendered in a vibrant palette of yellow, blue, brown, and black against a neutral background. This contemporary geometric composition measures 60 cm × 60 cm (23.6 in × 23.6 in). Created using acrylic on canvas, the painting combines fluid organic shapes with precise geometric elements, showcasing Squizzato's distinctive artistic style and playful approach to form and color.
"Dans sa coquille" (In Its Shell) exemplifies Antony Squizzato's masterful ability to blend geometric abstraction with organic forms. The artwork presents a stylized snail through a sophisticated arrangement of curved shapes and bold color blocks that seem to fold and unfold within the confined space.
The color palette is particularly noteworthy, with warm yellows and browns contrasting against cool blues and teals, all unified by dramatic black elements that define the composition's structure, creating a balanced visual harmony that draws the viewer into its rhythmic arrangement. The flowing, interlocking shapes suggest movement and transformation, while simultaneously maintaining a sense of containment within the square format—mirroring the concept of life within a protective shell.
Squizzato's work draws from various art historical movements, particularly mid-century modernism and geometric abstraction. There are echoes of Kandinsky's musical compositions and Miró's playful biomorphic forms, yet Squizzato establishes his own distinctive visual language. The harmonious balance between rigid geometry and flowing curves creates a rhythmic visual experience reminiscent of jazz improvisation.
The stylized snail motif could be interpreted as a meditation on protection, home, and the gradual journey of artistic development—carrying one's influences while slowly but steadily forging a unique path. The composition invites viewers to follow its spiral movement inward, creating an intimate viewing experience that rewards prolonged engagement.
Through "Dans sa coquille", Squizzato demonstrates his capacity to transform a simple natural form into a complex visual statement that balances playfulness with sophisticated formal considerations.

"My Possibilities are Endless" Abstract Butterfly Painting Acrylic on Canvas
By Ash Almonte
Located in New York, NY
The Butterfly series for Ash began as a sentiment to her late Father. Butterflies began to appear in unexplainable ways after his passing, the artist later discovered that Butterflies represent spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life - she goes on to say: "The butterfly series draws inspiration from Rivera's quote 'Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can.'" After coming to the fruition that Butterflies pose as not only a symbol for beauty and rebirth, Almonte felt a feeling of deep comfort. Her passion for sharing this message of hope and renewal through her colorfully diverse canvases is achieved with resilience leaving her audience glimmering much like the inner voice and the spark of Joie de vivre that fuels her purpose in life to create. This piece is painted on thick gallery wrap canvas and is signed lower right and on verso, it comes with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 48 x 48 inches
Inspired by vibrance and an optimistic outlook on life, Ash Almonte is recognized for her distinct abstract expressionistic style. She is best known for her series of Chandeliers, Butterflies, and Fashion from the Seventh Avenue Design District. Almonte's award-winning works can be found in private and permanent collections around the world. She is motivated by change, compassion for others, and miraculous phenomena that can impact others for good.
Her flair and admiration for fashion and art have been a staple of her life since childhood. As a young girl, she would experiment using anything she could find to make art; from tearing apart bushel baskets at her father’s fruit stand, to tearing out old magazine clippings from her mother's magazine collection; anything and everything around her could potentially be used to create. She would continue to seek out opportunities throughout her young adult years, as her love for fashion grew, allowing her to collaborate with celebrity stylists creating looks for top billboard artists, as well as apparel worn at New York Fashion Week for designers Sherri Hill...
