About the Item
MARIANNE STIKAS – [WINGS]
⚜ Oil on Canvas with Gold Leaf ⚜ Hand Signed and Dated Verso (twice) ⚜ Frameless Display
MONUMENTAL GOLD LEAF WINGS
Painted in 1981, Marianne Stikas’ [Wings] is a commanding large-scale canvas that juxtaposes radiant gold leaf against a vivid red ground. A central wing form dominates the surface, its luminous presence casting dramatic shadows across the composition. The surrounding bursts of cobalt and black create a sense of movement and tension, as if the wing is caught between ascension and turbulence.
The use of real gold leaf heightens the work’s physicality, transforming the canvas into a surface that both absorbs and reflects light. At once abstract and symbolic, [Wings] embodies Stikas’ exploration of mythic imagery, spirituality, and the expressive power of color.

THE ARTIST:
Marianne Stikas (b. 20th c., United States) is a contemporary American painter recognized for her bold use of scale, luminous surfaces, and integration of precious materials such as gold and metallic leaf. Emerging in the 1980s, Stikas developed a body of work that bridges Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, and symbolic figuration, creating compositions that are at once monumental and intimate.
Her canvases often explore themes of myth, spirituality, and transformation, using elemental forms — such as wings, clouds, and organic silhouettes — as metaphors for transcendence. Executed with rich color fields and dynamic contrasts, her paintings align with the visual languages of artists like Mark Rothko, Antoni Tàpies, and Anselm Kiefer, while retaining a distinctive American sensibility.
Stikas’ works have been exhibited in New York and internationally, with collectors drawn to her ability to fuse material richness with conceptual depth. Her large-scale canvases, particularly those incorporating gold leaf and symbolic motifs, remain highly sought after for both their striking presence and their layered resonance.
