Bi-painting – Sofia/A savoy cabbage

This captivating painting features a charming young girl with curly hair, smiling brightly and exuding joy. She is dressed in a light blue t-shirt adorned with a vibrant depiction of Ariel, the beloved mermaid from Disney, which adds a whimsical touch. The background is softly blurred, showcasing a leafy green environment that suggests a serene outdoor setting. Adjacent to her is an intricately detailed rendering of a cabbage, vividly contrasting the playful innocence of the girl with the organic realism of the vegetable. This juxtaposition cleverlly evokes themes of childhood, nature, and simplicity.
This painting will be a delightful addition to a child’s bedroom, playroom, or even a family kitchen where it can inspire warmth and creativity. It can also be an excellent fit for art galleries focusing on contemporary works, or modern living spaces that appreciate unique contrasts and playful elements.

Oil on linen 55x44x2cm (21.7x17.3x0.8in) 2019, ready to hang. This artwork displays a canvas split in two different parts, each one representing a painting which has apparently nothing to do with the other. I was thinking about rising a sense of misplacement in the observer when I set up this painting and managed to put two beautiful artworks one next to the other, physically inseparable. Then I picked up a photo of Sofia and chose a beautiful picture of a savoy cabbage and painted them on the same canvas. When I finished the artwork I felt as if I wanted to have them separate, but after a while I started considering them as a single artwork and I appreciated how the two images worked together. I then realised that I had to get over the common idea of ‘painting’ to fully appreciate the artwork and, eventually, decided to call it “Bi-painting”. Sofia/A savoy cabbage is an oil on linen painted on first quality linen cloth, hand primed and painted using top quality colours. The artwork is signed on the front/back and comes with a unique certificate of authenticity.
