About

A striking, close-up portrait of Prince that draws direct compositional inspiration from the rigid formality and presence of traditional spiritual icons. This mixed media piece is built upon a premium Giclée canvas print, individually hand-finished in the Manchester studio with thick structural modelling paste applied directly beneath layers of genuine gold leaf. While this limited edition allows collectors to own a hand-embellished iteration, the unique original painting now resides in a private collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The colour palette is heavily dominated by rich, layered shades of purple, violet, and lavender, contrasted against warm ochre and pink skin tones. The artwork features intense palette-knife textures, visible scoring, and heavy impasto layers throughout the hair and face. The left margin and top-right corner are heavily embellished with patches of hand-applied gold leaf, creating a flat, sacred backdrop that contrasts with the fluid, expressive brushwork of the figure. With an intense, direct gaze and a heavily textured purple jacket, the piece seamlessly blends the aesthetic of a modern pop icon with classical spiritual portraiture.
