La Mama - Golden Icon - XL

Golden Icon – XL canvas work by La Mama

Sitting on an iconic travel trunk, with a fixed smile and a posture falsely naïve, a universal figure takes center stage in a setting saturated with symbols of luxury.
Gold motifs, patinated leather, impeccable sneakers: Golden Icon stages the head-on meeting between the imagination of childhood and the aesthetics of commercial power. A brilliant, unsettling image, immediately legible.

The artist's explanation of the work
This work questions the transformation of collective icons into objects of desire.
La Mama distorts a popular symbol to make it a figure of gentle domination, almost arrogant, comfortably perched at the top of a world shaped by brands. The reassuring smile becomes a mask, the playful universe slides toward satire.

Technical and artistic work:
The work rests on a frontal and assured composition, inspired by the codes of luxury advertising and the museum display case.
Worked textures, rich materials, a gold/brown/black palette: every detail reinforces the visual opulence and the sense of immobile power. The contrast between the character’s naivety and the decor’s extreme sophistication is deliberately pushed to excess.

About La Mama:
La Mama creates narrative works in which contemporary symbols are artfully subverted with elegance and irony. Her work explores the relationship between desire, image, and cultural domination, through strong, immediately recognizable compositions.

Why “Golden Icon”?
Because in the era of globalized luxury,
Even myths have a price.

A striking and bold work, ideal for a design-forward interior, a contemporary collection, or a space that asserts a critical perspective on image and power.
