“Birds of Prey” - Francesca Lorenzini

Acrylic on Canvas
48 x 60 in.
 
This vibrant and intricate painting by Italian American painter and Capital Strategist, Francesca Lorenzini, combines two distinct visual styles into a powerful composition. The background features a detailed, symmetrical pattern of stylized birds, leaves, and flowers, rendered in a rich pallet of blues, white, and black, yellow, and emerald, reminiscent of classic textile or wallpaper designs. Against this ornate backdrop, three-dimensional, gridded geometric forms float as if the defy gravity. These shapes, which resemble a Mobius strip and a twisted cylinder, are rendered in a smooth gradient of colors from cool blues to bright greens and purples, creating a striking contrast with the flat, decorative pattern behind them. The juxtaposition of the complex, decorative background with the sleek, mathematical foreground creates a dynamic tension between the organic and the abstract.
