Once Upon A Time
SOLD
Step into a world where fantasy intertwines with reality in Mila Alexander's "Once Upon A Time," an original painting that captures the essence of contemporary storytelling through a sophisticated lens. This piece, magnificently framed in a wooden black floating frame measuring 37 x 53 inches, invites the viewer into an enchanting narrative set within its expansive canvas.
Mila Alexander, renowned for her thought-provoking portraits that blend female beauty, fashion, and literature with sensuality, presents a captivating tableau. The artwork features a stylised woman adorned with blonde hair and red lips, exuding vintage glamour while donning a mermaid tail—a nod to the mythical and surreal. She is caught in a moment of leisure, smoking and perusing a newspaper headlined "COVID-19 STAY AT HOME," surrounded by an Art Deco-inspired interior complete with palm fronds against patterned walls.
The colour palette is richly layered—deep forest greens meld into dusky charcoal blacks creating an intimate atmosphere; soft misty greys and subtle hints of oceanic teal evoke tranquillity; while dashes of crimson add vibrancy to this complex visual symphony. These hues work harmoniously to craft scenes both serene and vividly compelling.
"Once Upon A Time" is more than just an artwork—it's Mila Alexander’s vibrant homage to resilience amid solitude. It delves deep into societal narratives surrounding isolation while celebrating the strength found in solitude and self-reflection. Owning this masterpiece isn’t merely about aesthetic appreciation but embracing an artefact that boldly mirrors contemporary life’s complexities through the allegorical use of timeless mythological elements.
Let Mila Alexander's vision transform your space with "Once Upon A Time," where each glance unveils layers of meaning wrapped in exquisite craftsmanship—an investment not just in art but in a story that resonates across time.
