"Love"
Love is a challenge.
In life not always we have the right tool to start a relationship, a connection.The time is now! Feel what you are. Act now! Be what you like. Choose what you like. Get what is yours! Buy what you like!
This intriguing artwork features a pair of anthropomorphic figures perched atop a vivid, oversized red lip, strikingly set against a muted backdrop. The use of bold, fiery red creates a striking focal point, contrasting with the soft gray and blue hues surrounding it. One figure appears to be playfully extending a red line or beam downward, connecting with a small red object on the subtly textured surface below, evoking a sense of whimsy and curiosity. The piece's surreal elements challenge conventional perspectives, inviting viewers to interpret its symbolic connection between the figures and the lips. The minimalist background accentuates the central theme, drawing the eye to the interplay of forms and color. This work captivates with its imaginative approach and unexpected juxtapositions, showcasing artistic innovation and creativity.
A sophisticated color dialogue between fiery red and restrained neutrals
Symbolic depth, inviting interpretations of desire, attachment, guardianship, and inner strength
A surreal yet elegant composition that commands immediate attention in contemporary or minimal interiors
A standout piece for curated collections focused on narrative abstraction, symbolism, or modern myth-making
This artwork offers not just visual impact, but emotional resonance—an investment piece that engages viewers with its enigmatic presence and sculptural use of color.
A mysterious ram is sat on a luscious succulent mouth, full of lust and passion. It is trying to reach a female red high-heeled shoe with a pink stick, while holding another one.
The waters and the sky are silvery misty,
The atmosphere is uncertain, so are its intentions, and what would happen next, once it had possessed its heart's desire.
Red Horizon, Tethered Heart – A Contemporary Symbolist Masterwork
A striking blend of surrealism and emotional storytelling, this painting captures a mesmerizing moment: a lone ram-like figure reclining against a radiant, sculptural form of pure red, suspended between serenity and tension. Its delicate red tether arcs downward across an expansive, silvery landscape, pulling a small, heart-shaped symbol—a gesture that reads simultaneously as longing, connection, and gentle power.
Rendered in luxurious layers of cool greys and luminous vermilion, the work evokes an atmosphere that feels both mythic and modern. The bold central red form acts almost like a glowing monument, while the soft, textured background suggests an infinite horizon where reality and dream merge.
Painting will be shipped rolled, unframed.

About the artist:
Collectors highly regard Anastasia Aureum's work for its sophisticated fusion of realism, surrealism, and abstract expressionism. Often described as a "passionate art dance," her style bridges the gap between traditional fine art and high-luxury aesthetic, making her a frequent choice for large-scale architectural and elite residential spaces.
Artistic Philosophy
Style
Aureum’s work is characterized by a "personal interiorization"—a desire to move beyond the surface of reality to capture the inner nature of her subjects.
The "Art Dance": She fluidly merges genres, allowing figures to dissolve into abstract forms or emerge from surreal, dreamlike landscapes.
Themes: Her portfolio frequently explores vulnerability, intimacy, identity, and transformation. Common motifs include fragmented human figures, circus/theater elements, and horses, often set against muted earth tones or vibrant, emotive palettes.
Mediums: She is a multi-disciplinary artist working in oils, acrylics, watercolors, and even terracotta sculpture. Her large-scale canvases are particularly sought after for their "tactile" quality, achieved through meticulous layering and blending.
Market Value
Collector Appeal
For art buyers, Aureum represents a blend of established prestige and contemporary growth:
Institutional Presence: Her work is held in prestigious permanent collections, most notably the Vatican Museums. She has also been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Price Range: Original works typically range from $3,000 to over $15,000, though her large-scale masterpiece "Circle of Life" has been valued at over $100,000. Limited edition prints and works on paper offer an entry point for newer collectors, often priced between $1,000 and $2,500.
Global Reach: Her pieces are held in private collections across the UK, USA, Italy, Singapore, and France.Collectors will appreciate:

Placement: The horizontal orientation makes it an ideal anchor for placement above a designer sofa, a grand dining console, or as a standalone statement in a minimalist hallway.
Katarina Joys: Where Mathematical Precision Meets the Pulse of Nature
In the world of contemporary fine art, few creators bridge the gap between rigorous logic and organic soul as masterfully as Katarina Joys (b. 1952). Based in the heart of London, Katarina has spent decades developing a visual language that doesn’t just decorate a space—it defines it.
The Foundation of Form
Katarina’s work is born from the elegant world of Algebra and Geometry, which she studied extensively in Munich. This academic rigor provides the "hidden numbers" and underlying logic that move her brush. However, her art found its spirit far from the classroom. Following her studies, Katarina spent three years sailing to the remote islands of North and South America. In the contrast between frozen northern horizons and lush tropical heat, she sought a reconciliation between mathematical structure and the untamed spontaneity of the natural world.
The "Living Art" Philosophy
Katarina operates outside the traditional gallery circuit, preferring a "closed-market ecosystem" that prioritizes exclusivity and personal connection. Her practice sits at the prestigious intersection of fine art and high-end architectural design. From London to Dubai and across the United States, her work is sought after by private collectors and real estate designers who view art as a fundamental component of a property’s identity.
The Portfolio: A Study in Scale and Rhythm
Her portfolio is a testament to the "Kinetic Awakening"—the moment a static canvas begins to breathe:
Large-Scale Masterpieces: XXL oil and acrylic works such as Sunrise on the Beach in Italy, Honey Flowers, and the rhythmic Flamenco are designed to anchor grand architectural spaces.
Geometric Nature: Explorations into the Coexistence of Rhythms, where mathematical precision meets the fluid transformation of natural phenomena.
Bespoke Commissions: A collaborative journey between artist and collector, ensuring every stroke of the palette knife resonates with the specific energy of its final environment.
An Exclusive Dialogue
To own a piece by Katarina Joys is to invest in a philosophy of emergence and transformation. Utilizing a mastery of texture and depth through layered acrylics and oils, Katarina ensures that each piece remains an original dialogue. These are not mass-produced decorations; they are site-specific legacies.
"My work is about the search for new forms—the point where the logic of geometry meets the heartbeat of the earth." — Katarina Joys
