Description from the seller
Giclée on Hahnemuhle 350gr + certificate of authenticity
Title: Hello – Contemporary reinterpretation
Original year: 1634 (Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy)
Original author: Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy
Contemporary intervention: Slasky
Description:
This detail, taken from the famous Portrait of a 34-year-old woman by Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy, has been reinterpreted with a bold contemporary intervention. The hand, originally a symbol of grace and social status in Dutch Golden Age, is here transformed into a vehicle for modern personal expression: floral tattoos and pop culture brooches, such as Hello Kitty, dialogue with the rich ornamentation of the garment, creating a contrast between Baroque refinement and contemporary visual culture.
The work explores the relationship between historical memory and contemporary identity, highlighting how symbols of our time can coexist with icons of the past, redefining the perception of the portrait and the body as a medium of narration. The tattoo thus becomes an extension of personal history, while the Hello Kitty pin introduces irony and lightness, turning the hand into a real manifesto of temporal and cultural overlay.
“Art is not about representing new things, but representing them with novelty.”
Slasky is a renowned Italian artist whose works have been exhibited in solo and group shows at an international level.
The artist has the ability to fuse classical artworks with techniques of contemporary digital art. With his neo-urban classic style, he unites tradition and modernity, bringing the protagonists of the original artworks into contemporary social and artistic environments.
