  • Artist’s Description:

    Original Art on Canvas with Art Deco touch.

    Mussini oil paints on linen canvas painting with Paradise Birds on a William Morris Wallpaper, Black Aubergine and Artichoke.


    In winter, it gets dark in Prague early, and sometimes it seems that the sun will not come out at all. 

    You have to learn to live with this. Of course, this affects the creative and workflow. The wisest thing to do is to do graphics or paint in small sizes at this time of year.

    I chose small canvases and began to paint a series of fruits and vegetables, enjoying the harmony of color, shape and volume.

     This time I chose a couple of Paradise birds with flowers and berries actively moving on the background combined with black aubergine and artichoke. It has a certain musicality and almost architectural beauty. 

    I have added a wallpaper pattern with a pritty birds in flowers reminiscent of the William Morris design I saw in an old French estate last summer. I found this combination rather funny. 

    Here, as in many of my paintings, the influence of the style of the 30s is noticeable: a clear line, local color relationships, even the character of a «model» remind that time, which I feel very close to me both in spirit and in design.

    The artwork was painted with a brush.

      Commissioning art is a fun and unique experience. No matter if you are a first-time art buyer or a seasoned collector, XPallery is here to make the process easy and enjoyable. The following five FAQs will give you an overview of the process. If you have an idea for a special artwork, send us an email at info@xpgallery.com and we can discuss the next steps.

      How much will it cost to commission an artwork?

      Commissioned pieces are priced based on the size, medium, and complexity of the piece, and the artist's sales history. Commissioned artworks will be more than comparable pieces in the artist's portfolio [in terms of size and medium]. This is due to the fact that the artist must spend time to consult with you about the project, create any necessary preliminary sketches, and take time away from their normal art practice to create your commission.

      Do I pay for commissioned artwork before or after the piece is complete? May I return a piece I've commissioned?

      Before the artist begins working on your commission, we take a 50% non-refundable deposit. This assures that the artist will be paid for their time and materials. Once the piece is complete, we will send you a high resolution image of the work. If you accept it, we will charge your credit card the remaining 50% and ship the piece to you. If for some reason you are not entirely satisfied when you see the image, we can work with the artist to make small changes. There are no returns once you take possession of the art.

      How long does it take to commission an artwork?

      The time will vary depending on the size, medium, and complexity of the piece, and the artist's schedule, but typically commissions take ten to twelve weeks to complete.
