About the Item

“Sirens” tapestry of surrealism and symbolism. It showcases a central human figure intricately adorned with a mosaic of colorful patterns, seamlessly blending into a lush, fantastical environment. The figure is intertwined with elements of nature, including a majestic pelican and a vibrant fish, both depicted with dynamic fluidity and attention to detail. Birds in mid-flight add an ethereal quality, enhancing the sense of movement and freedom. The background is a swirling mix of flora and abstract shapes, creating an immersive and dreamlike atmosphere. The artist masterfully uses contrast and color to draw viewers into this otherworldly scene, inviting contemplation of the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. This piece stands out for its intricate detail, bold use of color, and the harmonious fusion of real and imagined elements, making it a captivating visual experience. 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).
