A colorful contemporary painting mounted on a white brick wall, surrounded by hanging vintage-style Edison bulb lights. The artwork features a reclining dark cherub statue at its center, surrounded by bold, chaotic scribbles and abstract shapes in bright colors like yellow, blue, red, and green.

A vibrant mixed media painting featuring a reclining dark-toned cherub in classical style, positioned at the center. The background is an expressive explosion of color and texture—graffiti-like strokes, scribbles, and overlapping rectangles in electric hues of blue, yellow, red, and green—creating a contrast between order and wildness.

And just like that… the first painting in a new collab is born! 👶 We’ve created this lil’ baroque baby surrounded by a whole lotta modern chaos.
⁠
We’re obsessed with the tension: control vs. color, beauty vs. bold scribbles, classical form lounging in a neon tantrum.

Framed mixed media artwork titled "Whatever", created with oil pastel and charcoal on A3 paper. The piece features a fashionably dressed woman lounging with dramatic flair on a curving, plush maroon sofa set against a textured burnt-orange background. Her expression is bold and unbothered, with exaggerated high-fashion styling and dark boots adding contrast. The work conveys a sense of elegance, attitude, and fatigue.

A cozy, sunlit living room in Prague with a white sofa, several potted plants, and a gallery wall featuring various artworks. The focal point is a large painting titled Sala degli Animali, depicting classical animal sculptures against a deep blue background.

A scene from my home in Prague — and a gentle reminder that Sala degli Animali is still available through #vangoghgallery

It brings a quiet presence, a touch of the uncanny, and yes… looks very good on a gallery wall.

In the studio, there is a framed artwork hanging on the wall behind the easel, depicting a woman in a dark dress standing over seated figures with a golden halo around her head.
