"Bold" is a composition that demands attention, as if its essence were to be written in bold letters. The flat purple background and the vibrant orange tones that frame the people portrait surrealist collage above and below serve to highlight the central figure—a woman with an apathetic expression, accentuated by daring and vibrant makeup that illuminates her face. Her straight, fiery red hair frames her face sparsely, almost encircling her neck, and then cascades in gentle waves over her shoulders. Perched on her shoulder is a tiger, its front paws resting on an orange flower. In the upper part of the collage, a large orange flower extends beyond the confines of the painting, upon which a pelican stands. This pelican symbolises sacrifice, selflessness, and empowerment—a poignant "wake-up call" for self-love and the pursuit of happiness. The colour contrast in "Bold" is ethereal, captivating the eye. This composition, which combines different universes, strives to capture the beauty of life. Just like the artwork itself, this piece is presented as a limited edition on Hahnemühle's Art Canvas Smooth, a heavyweight museum-quality canvas with a smooth weave texture and warm surface tone. The result is colour perfect prints that reproduce the colours and sharp details of the original piece. Each canvas print is varnished with Hahnemühle's own UV-protecting varnish, available in a matte finish. Remarkably, the original work has been exhibited at the Design District in London and digitally showcased in Times Square, New York, in addition to featuring in various international exhibitions, TV shows, and art magazines.
