Venetian Reverie

This artwork is a striking mixed-media piece that combines a highly textured, abstract background with a detailed, metal circular centrepiece featuring a grayscale Venetian or Mardi Gras-style mask. The mask is intricately detailed with swirling, baroque patterns and is adorned with prominent purple flowers and baubles on the cheeks and forehead. The surrounding acrylic artwork uses expressive palette knife strokes in dark, metallic colors with hints of vibrant turquoise and purple. This creates a dynamic, three-dimensional, almost fiery or chaotic effect that contrasts sharply with the centrepiece.
