About the Item

“Lost with Monkeys” an enchanting fusion of natural beauty and surrealism, where monkeys are intricately dressed in vibrantly colored, oversized floral costumes. Each animal is adorned with uniquely hued petals, ranging from fiery reds and saturated yellows to shocking pinks and serene blues, creating a kaleidoscopic display. Their expressive faces, framed by blossoms, seem almost sentient, as if engaged in a lively conversation amidst their lush, forested backdrop. The composition skillfully balances chaos and harmony, inviting the viewer to explore the depth and texture of each flower and fur. This piece challenges traditional representations of wildlife by blending fauna with flora, offering a thought-provoking commentary on the interconnectedness of nature. Its bold colors and imaginative concept leave a lasting impression, celebrating creativity and the unexpected beauty found within the natural world. 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).
