ABOUT THE PAINTING
These extraterrestrial blooms, belonging to a distant and enigmatic planet, carry an aura of mystery and intrigue. Their unsettling beauty challenges traditional notions of innocence, as they exude an eerie charm that simultaneously attracts and repels. With each glance, the viewer is drawn deeper into the mesmerizing abyss of this galactic rose bouquet, where familiar boundaries blur and the extraordinary takes hold. The amalgamation of materials used by Mashian adds depth and texture to the piece, amplifying the uncanny nature of the roses. The built-up foil and resin create a three-dimensional quality, as if the flowers are reaching out from the canvas, almost tangibly alive. The interplay of acrylic, glitter, glue, and plastic enhances the visual complexity, infusing the artwork with an otherworldly luminosity and a tactile intrigue.
