Savannah Monarch Mixed-Media Painting

Description

This square mixed-media painting is presented in a deep, minimalist dark-stained acacia wood floating frame, resting atop a honed Carrara marble plinth for display.

The artwork features a powerful, abstract-stylized lion’s head rendered through meticulous craftsmanship. The composition utilizes deeply layered textures of dark acacia wood veneer, heavy woven natural fibers (ochre and cream), and prominent application of oxidized bronze. The bronze sections, particularly the mane, feature heavy, vibrant turquoise/jade verdigris patinas, creating a visually arresting focal point. Geometric relief patterns—including interlocking diamonds and traditional chevrons—are hand-carved into the wood and stamped into the metal, reflecting ancestral craftsmanship. This painting is a sophisticated statement piece for the discerning collector of heritage-focused art.
