Cactus vert – Maraé, 140x100 cm, acrylic on canvas Green cacti grow from a black ornamental chalice against a beige background. The work feels fresh, decorative, and modern — a balance of nature and stylization. Maraé is a Viennese contemporary artist, aged 52, whose lifelong passion for painting has now evolved into a desire to share her work with the world. A self-taught visionary, she has devoted years to perfecting her craft, creating bold, thought-provoking pieces that blend emotion with modern artistic techniques. Until recently, she painted purely for her own joy—but now, she invites collectors and art lovers to experience her work firsthand. Maraé has hand-signed the painting discreetly on the back side of the canvas. Each piece is accompanied by an Authenticity Certificate, ensuring its provenance and originality. The painting will be shipped rollod in a secure, protective art tube, ensuring its safety and making shipping more cost-effective and eco-friendly. The canvas includes an extra 5 cm border on each side, allowing for easy re-stretching onto a frame of up to 2 cm thickness.
