Curator's Note: The Day Is Mine

This original painting from the Pink Noir collection exudes timeless confidence and retro glamour. Titled The Day Is Mine, the artwork features a sophisticated portrait of a woman with a classic wavy hairstyle and sharp winged sunglasses. She is set against a textured and vibrant pink background.

I painted this piece using rich Winsor & Newton gouache on cotton paper. I utilized the bold contrast between the deep black silhouette and the playful pink tones to create a graphic statement that feels both nostalgic and empowering.

What makes this piece truly unique for collectors is the archival finish. I have mounted the cotton paper onto an acid-free board and sealed the surface with Dorland’s Wax. This technique completely eliminates the need for glass. It allows you to enjoy a glare-free and intimate view of the painted texture without reflections. It arrives in a textured black frame and is ready to hang the moment it reaches your door.

One of the most unique aspects of this artwork is the archival construction. I mount the cotton paper onto an acid-free mat board using pH Neutral adhesive to ensure the artwork is stabilized and reinforced. Additionally, I have sealed the surface with Dorland’s Wax, a technique that protects the painting and completely eliminates the need for glass. This allows you to enjoy a glare-free, tactile view of the art without any reflections getting in the way. It arrives framed in a Black finished Solid Oak frame that complements the composition, making it ready to hang the moment it arrives at your door.
