About the Item
This painting presents a sophisticated visual paradox: a woman dressed in the refined style of a 17th-century portrait — black dress, lace collar, white bonnet — is interrupted by unmistakably modern details. Her oversized black sunglasses and a paper bag of popcorn infuse the classical composition with humor and irony. A few popcorn kernels float mid-air, adding cinematic tension and suggesting a moment suspended between eras. With meticulous technique and symbolic subtlety, this artwork explores the dialogue between past and present, tradition and mass culture. Both thought-provoking and visually striking, it invites the viewer to reflect on the surreal juxtapositions of contemporary life.
Created with Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam on Italian canvas Unico, finished with a satin varnish. The edges are painted. It comes on a pre-stretched canvas mounted on a wooden frame. Piece is securely packaged in a cardboard box with bubble wrap and is signed by the artist, certificated.
