Gutterdämmerung

£950.00

ORIGINAL

Artwork size: 60 × 60 cm

Medium: Oil on canvas
Hand signed recto and verso
Certificate of authenticity is included

We know that the flower will soon wilt and die, that its life is a brief and fragile thing. It is this impermanence that makes flowers so poignant and so poetic. We are reminded of our own mortality, of the fleeting nature of life, and of the beauty that can be found in even the most ephemeral things.

In Götterdämmerung Christina captures a scene of monumental conflict and chaos, symbolising the Twilight of the Gods. The composition is dominated by a dark and stormy sky, hinting at the impending destruction and violence that is about to unfold. Red scarlet roses stand out against the tumultuous backdrop, representing the fragility of life and the inevitability of death.

The juxtaposition of wild flowers and bold colours against the stark contrast of the dark sky creates a sense of energy and drama in the piece. The central theme of the artwork is the triumph of life amidst chaos and destruction, symbolising resilience and the enduring spirit of humanity.

  • UK Delivery. Complimentary shipping for all UK orders.

  • International Delivery. International delivery is available for an additional cost. For more details, please refer to the FAQ below or email us directly for shipping options.

  • The cost of delivery is based on the size, weight of the artwork as well as the delivery destination. This will be calculated automatically at checkout and added to your bill. You will have a chance to review the total cost, including delivery, before being asked to confirm your order.

  • All work is carefully packed and wrapped. If you receive a work that has been damaged in transit, please contact us within 48 hours and if possible keep a photograph.

  • Most work on canvas is sold unframed; many people prefer this more modern look and it means it can be shipped without costing you more. It’s also easier to decide on a frame once you have the painting with you.

    All paintings will come with basic picture wire or hangers already fixed and ready to hang.

    On request Christina is able to offer beautiful, bespoke framing on all purchases for extra charge. She works with her preferred Bristol framer who handcrafts each frame individually to suit the painting. Please enquire about options before purchasing.

  • Hopefully your artwork creates surprise and delight when you receive it. So many of Christina’s past buyers have said how much better the artwork looks in real life, even every care being taken to photograph them as naturally as possible (i.e. the photographs are not enhanced).

Once a return has been agreed, you are responsible for packing and arranging return delivery using the same service it was sent to you.
