About the Item
"Untitled, 2024" is a new 20cm x 20cm painting skillfully crafted with acrylic paint, ink, and glass beads on hand-stretched linen. Drawing inspiration from James Ensor's diabolic motifs and A. R.

The addition of glass beads introduces tactile intricacies, inviting viewers to explore the dynamic composition. Ideal for intimate spaces and expansive collections, the piece is a testament to the artist's versatility and engagement with art history. The work's unique processes, along with its rich provenance, contribute to its significance.

Rafael Melendez - July 2022 Rafael Melendez (b.1970, USA) renders motifs from high past art with self-taught experimental techniques to produce an unexpected and highly unique visual language riddled with esoteric symbolism.
