Mediterranean Sunflower Portrait in White Robe Spanish Expressionist Oil canvas

By Josep Miquel Serrano

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Mediterranean Sunflower Portrait in White Robe – Spanish Expressionist Oil Artist: Josep Miquel Serrano (Barcelona, 1912 – Sitges, 1982) Title: Self Portrait with Sunflowers Date: 1976 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 92 × 73 cm (36.22 × 28.74 in) Signature: Signed and dated lower left Framing: Unframed Condition: Good vintage condition with stable pictorial surface and expressive original brushwork visible throughout. A striking and highly decorative self-portrait by Spanish painter Josep Miquel Serrano, executed in 1976 with remarkable chromatic intensity and psychological presence. The composition depicts the artist dressed in a luminous white robe before an explosive background of oversized sunflowers, creating a powerful contrast between serenity and raw Mediterranean energy. The painting immediately captures attention through its vibrant palette of golden yellows, olive greens and earthy browns, while the loose, gestural brushwork gives the work an almost Fauvist vitality. The monumental floral background transforms the portrait into something far beyond a conventional likeness: a symbolic and theatrical composition filled with warmth, identity and painterly confidence. Serrano’s handling of light and texture evokes the spirit of post-impressionist and expressionist European portraiture. The face is treated with sensitivity and restraint, while the surrounding flowers erupt with movement and atmosphere, creating a visual tension highly sought after in contemporary interiors and curated collections. This work possesses the rare combination of strong decorative impact and authentic artistic character, making it particularly suitable for collectors seeking sophisticated Mediterranean modernism with emotional presence and rich color harmony. Artist Biography Josep Miquel Serrano was a Spanish painter born in Barcelona in 1912 and active within the Catalan artistic scene throughout the mid-20th century. Closely connected to the artistic circles of Paris and Barcelona, Serrano exhibited internationally and maintained relationships with important cultural figures including Jean Cocteau. His work was shown in notable European exhibitions and he later participated in the legendary “Salón de los Once” in Spain. Although celebrated for floral compositions and still lifes, Serrano also developed an important body of figurative and portrait painting distinguished by elegant draftsmanship, rapid expressive brushwork and refined color sensitivity. His works reflect a distinctly Mediterranean spirit infused with French modernist influence. Artistic Context / inspiración pictórica This portrait recalls the emotional color intensity of Van Gogh’s floral universe combined with the expressive freedom of postwar European figurative painting. The vibrant brushwork and luminous palette evoke echoes of artists such as Oskar Kokoschka, Chaïm Soutine and certain late Mediterranean portraits of Matisse, while maintaining a distinctly Spanish sensibility rooted in Catalan modern painting.

Steve Carrell by Philip Burke Original Oil Painting

By Philip Burke

Located in Boca Raton, FL

Burke's subjects range from politicos and media personalities, to athletes and musicians. His paintings which regularly appear on the pages of Vanity Fair, The Observer, Time and The New Yorker often reflect a deeper insight into the face depicted on the canvas; getting to the soul of the subject. Burke's caricatures exaggerate features and highlight particular features of his subjects; telling a story within each portrait. Most notably his recent work featuring prominent players in the 2008 election serve as a historical reference: Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and John McCain. Aside from his broad popularity, Philip Burke is an artist's artist whose work has been repeatedly selected for shows and exhibits by artist's organizations such as Society of Illustrators, Society of Publication Design and Society of Newspaper Design. Philip's artwork has been highlighted in several books, including The Savage Mirror in 1993 and Rolling Stone; The Illustrated Portraits in 2000. Perhaps a significant expression of the respect and appreciation for his talent among his peers was demonstrated by the uncharacteristic event of Andy Warhol sitting for Burke to paint his portrait in 1982. While Burke's subjects run the gamut of celebrity or newsworthy persons and events his highest energy and vibrancy seem to converge on his rock and roll paintings...
