Barbra

 

Please note, this artwork is only available unframed.

Maria Rivans is a Brighton-based artist known for richly-collaged images of vintage Hollywood starlets. Barbra is a homage to Streisand and has been released to coincide with the icon’s birthday on April 24^th.

This colourful collage tells a story of strength, glamour and female inspiration. Fearless females nestle in the headdress, alongside wild cats prowling through the flowers. To contrast the nods to strength, Rivans adds motifs of vulnerability – a classical nude and a paparazzi’s bulb to remind us of the pressures of stardom.

Rivans explains: ‘For all the glitz and glamour, the message is clear: beauty may be in the eye of camera, but true strength comes from within.’

This giclée and silkscreen print is finished with diamond dust, iridescent gold and spot varnishes. From a limited edition of 60, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
