Paisley Sky

This original artwork, measuring 14 x 17 inches and created on Fabriano paper, centers around a striking central composition. In the background, a blue sky dotted with delicate clouds pays homage to Prince’s iconic animated music video for the song “Raspberry Beret,” evoking the artist’s famous sky-blue suit adorned with white clouds. The collar of his outfit and the hat feature a piece of floral embroidery subtly accented with diamond dust, adding texture and light. The use of acrylic highlights the legendary Love Symbol scattered throughout the composition; rendered in a golden hue, these motifs stand out elegantly against the dark textures. Vibrant touches of neon mauve complete this thematic foundation. The refined combination of watercolor, pastel-on-board—the artist’s first artistic love—and a structured medium lends remarkable depth and dimension to the entire piece, particularly on the headpiece.
