About the Item

“Decadent” masterfully merges nature with intricate design. Dominating the composition is a bird enveloped in delicate blue floral patterns reminiscent of fine porcelain, a striking contrast to the natural surroundings. Its ceramic-like texture is both mesmerizing and unique, elevating the bird from a mere creature to a piece of art within art. Surrounding the bird are vibrant, lush flowers in shades of pink, peach, and coral, adding a burst of color and depth to the scene. The background features a dreamy, impressionistic landscape with a gentle fusion of greens and blues, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere. The intricate patterns on the bird and the vivid, flowing environment harmonize to highlight themes of beauty, transformation, and the fusion of human artistry with nature’s elegance. This piece is a testament to creative innovation, inviting viewers to ponder the boundary between the natural and the ornamental. 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).
