AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This captivating abstract portrait, "pHILOMENA," is an exploration of beauty found in imperfection. The artist embraces chaos and experimentation, working with acrylic, charcoal, gesso and graphite on canvas to create a dynamic and expressive piece. The artwork celebrates the unique character of the subject.
The artist's process is evident in the energetic strokes and textures, resulting in a truly original artwork. The blend of abstract and portraiture elements makes it a compelling statement piece. While unframed, this large canvas will be shipped rolled, ensuring its safe arrival and allowing you to customize the stretching and framing to perfectly complement your space.
Imagine this painting adding a touch of bold, contemporary style to your living room, bedroom or office. Its unique blend of mediums and expressive style is sure to spark conversation and add visual interest to any room.
Bring a touch of artistic energy into your home.
Ready to hang: no, the painting will be rolled and needs to be stretched again by your local framer. Shipping extra-large formats rolled is safer and more environmentally friendly than shipping finished works. The canvas can easily be stretched on-site by a framer near you.
Seller's Story
The work of Romy van Rijckevorsel is daring, colorful, very inviting for personal interpretations and not without obligation!.
Romy van Rijckevorsel paints in an eclectic way. In her work you see many references to classical artists. (eg Gustav Klimt, decorative backgrounds, but also Egon Schiele). It is also eclectic because of the different styles: drawing, graffiti, painting and
graphic elements. All these elements are very successfully combined into an organic whole in which there is also a unique handwriting lurking. That is very smart, because the combination of references and styles can also go wrong very quickly. In Romy's work, however, she stops at exactly that
right moment. The paintings are very postmodern in the sense of "everything is possible" and yet it is not restless at all. On the one hand the works are very decorative and on the other hand also hard and almost provocative and vulgar. Yet they are balanced, partly due to
the strong composition. (jury report Painting of the year 2020, eventually finished 9th out of 1250 applications)
