Part of the Escape of the Circus Ponies series, this painting shows an escaped circus pony resting in a field of red tulips. The style of the painting (and the tulips themselves) reference the style of Persian miniature painting and also Persia as one of the original places of tulip cultivation.
This is a handmade one-of-a-kind item. Each painting is unique and no AI is used in any part of the painting process - from sketches for composition to choosing the subject matter.
Each golden miniature painting is hand-painted in acrylic on 23k recycled gold leaf, which helps eliminate the need for new, destructive mining operations and thus reduces toxic waste, water pollution, and habitat destruction.
Animal rights are a deep part of my practice and I source archival paper that is vegan (many paper-makers use gelatin, an animal byproduct).
All the paintings are custom-framed in Cape Town using certified sustainably sourced Kiaat wood.
We recommended displaying this piece away from strong heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
