This mixed media painting is inspired by the photograph "Tulip" by American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. It depicts a perfect red tulip against a red backdrop, rendered in oil on a red acrylic background. Red is my favorite color, and I deeply admire its various hues as seen in nature. The tulip is the focal point of this artwork, showcasing its amazing deep red color accentuated by highlights from sunlight. The red background complements the subject perfectly, making it a perfect decorative piece of art to enhance the individuality and uniqueness of your interior. In my artistic journey, I'm driven by a passion to explore the intricate relationship between humanity and wildlife. Through my art, I strive to raise awareness about ecological issues and advocate for the preservation of our natural world. I firmly believe that prioritizing the protection of wild habitats over industrial developments like oil pipelines or high-rise buildings is essential for our collective well-being. This art work is a mixed media painting on a canvas and has been coated with a layer of professional varnish to protect it from sunlight and dust, measures 35 by 45 cm on a stretched wooden canvas.
