About the Item

"Prosper" is a contemporary acrylic painting on canvas by Maria Burtis. This piece is characterized by fluid, swirling brushstrokes in shades of blue, white, green, and yellow. The composition is energetic and dynamic, with vibrant splashes of color and texture that evoke a sense of movement and natural beauty, reminiscent of wind or water. This piece is finished in a silver scoop floater frame with a black woodgrain effect on the frame’s interior and sides. Price includes pictured frame. Unframed dimensions are 59 x 59 inches. About the artist: Maria Burtis’ paintings emerge from a dialogue between physical action and internal stillness, resulting in richly layered works that balance spontaneity and refinement. Her process begins with energetic marks, washes, and brushstrokes, followed by an intuitive cycle of adding, obscuring, and revealing. By embracing uncertainty, she keeps her paintings open and evolving, allowing them to breathe with depth and life. While inspired by the natural world, her work ultimately explores an internal landscape, aiming to evoke a deep, somatic response in viewers and invite them into a space of personal discovery. A dedicated daily practice has been central to Burtis’ artistic journey since 2005, yielding over 6,500 small works that inform her larger abstract paintings and collages. She studied Religion and Art History at Carleton College before earning a BFA in Painting from the Massachusetts College of Art. Her work is widely collected and has been exhibited nationally, including at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Burtis lives in San Francisco and works out of her studio in Sausalito.

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman. In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues. Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish. Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
