Dalvin Byron
"Millions", Contemporary, Skull, Plastic Bag, Black, Oil Painting, 2024

2024

About the Item

Dalvin Byron’s “Millions” is a 24 x 36 x 1.5 inch oil painting on canvas. It presents a stark and haunting image: a human skull encased in a sheer plastic bag, suspended in a black void. The bag clings tightly to the contours of the bone, its translucent folds creating a tension between concealment and exposure. Light refracts through the plastic, casting subtle distortions across the skull’s hollow eye sockets and grinning jaw. It is a continuation of the artist’s dream series. Dalvin Byron is a painter fascinated by the extraordinary contained within the ordinary. His work invites the viewer to slow down and interact with the beauty and detail within mundane objects. Inspired by the still-life painters of the Dutch Golden Age, he searches for hints of narrative and symbolism in the objects that he chooses to depict. While he treats each image that he makes as a technical challenge, Dalvin primarily views the act of painting as meditative; it’s a way he can invite viewers to seek peace in a chaotic world. Dalvin currently lives and works in Newton, Massachusetts where he teaches drawing and painting for middle and high school students at Newton Country Day School. He also taught art classes in Baltimore, Maryland, where he led a team of high school students in a summer mural and public art program. He received his BFA from Messiah University in 2016. He is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.

Still life of sunflowers oil on canvas painting russian artist flowers
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Natalia Pankova (1965) - Sunflowers - Oil on canvas Oil measurements 50x50 cm. Frameless. This striking piece by Natalia Pankova, a renowned contemporary Russian painter, captures the energy and vitality of a sunflower bouquet in her signature expressionist style. Pankova uses a vibrant palette and dynamic brushstrokes, creating a powerful balance between structure and emotion. The artist draws clear inspiration from masters such as Vincent van Gogh, whose use of color and expressive approach to still life revolutionized the art world, and Paul Cézanne, celebrated for his structural and geometric treatment of still life. Additionally, echoes of Wassily Kandinsky's expressionism can be seen, particularly in the harmonious interplay of shapes and colors. The painting is not framed, offering the buyer the freedom to select a frame that best suits their personal style and space. Perfect for collectors or contemporary art enthusiasts looking for a vibrant and unique piece. An excellent addition to any collection!
