Self Caricature with Parasol - Max Švabinský Framed Canvas
Description
Švabinský's "A Self Caricature with a Parasol" blooms on canvas, a solitary figure in golden robes unfurling against an overcast sky. The artist reimagines himself as a living marigold, petals of fabric cascading down a willowy stem. His parasol, a sunny disk hovering overhead, seems to push back the gathering clouds. The landscape stretches green and vast, broken only by distant shadows hinting at a faraway town.
Švabinský's brush dances between precision and suggestion - the kimono's floral patterns burst with detail, while the figure's face remains a cipher, turned away in profile. This isn't just a self-portrait; it's a mood captured in pigment, where isolation and vibrancy coexist in uneasy balance.
The composition draws the eye upward, from earth to sky, mirroring the artist's own journey from the grounded to the ethereal. In this single frame, Švabinský distills the essence of solitary contemplation, wrapped in a cloak of eye-catching color.
Information
• Patience is... boring: Produced locally in the USA, EU, UK and AUS. Meaning your new treasure arrives in a flash, not a sigh.
• Transform any room into a gallery: The artist-grade canvas is a finely textured, 38mm, 400gsm cotton that captures the subtlest nuances of light and color.
• Do good, look good, feel good: Sitting approx 5mm from the edge of the canvas — creating a floating border — the FSC® certified frame is made of sustainably sourced wood, meaning your new treasure's 100% forest friendly.
• Natural beauty preserves natural beauty: Vivid, water-based eco-inks as lush and enduring as traditional inks… minus the chemical junk.
