About the Item
“Athena” presents a vibrant and surreal composition centered around a classical bust adorned with intricate blue floral patterns. The headpiece, an ornate golden helmet, features tiny figures engaged in dynamic poses, adding an element of intrigue. Surrounding the bust, an explosion of colorful, detailed flowers in shades of pink, orange, and green creates a captivating contrast against the azure background. The artwork seamlessly blends classical and contemporary elements, showcasing a harmonious fusion of history and fantasy. The depth of colors and meticulous detailing highlight the artist's skill in crafting a visually mesmerizing piece. This work stands out for its imaginative use of symbolism and texture, inviting viewers into a dreamlike world that bridges the gap between reality and imagination.
Contemporary artist, Augustina Droze, uses animals as symbols to describe her personal lived experiences. Her current body of work explores her life as a foreigner, her gaze upon the world as exotic, beautiful and bewildering. As an expat living in Beijing for the past ten years and currently in Barcelona, Droze’s work incorporates elements of East and West. Her swirling, dream-like paintings are colourful and confrontational, brimming with Rococo inspired abundance. She creates her own modern mythology, a storybook land where she is the other in a very other worldly landscape.
Droze has exhibited in galleries and museums internationally in numerous shows, notably the Castellani Art Museum, Niagara Falls, New York (2014), Banaras Hindu University as Fulbright Senior Scholar, Varanasi, India (2017), the Beijing US Embassy as Distinguished Art Envoy (2022), London Biennale (2023), Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (2024) and Carrousel du Louvre (2025).
