Parlour whispers - Mariam De Giorgio

A carved wooden chaise longue stands in a dark parlour under a large oval mirror in a gilt frame, with white flowers reflected in the glass. A rust-orange cover and a teal cushion lie on the seat, small framed portraits hang around the mirror, and a plant in a terracotta pot sits on a pedestal at the left.

Built up in thick strokes on a near-black ground, so the gilt and the cushion carry most of the light. Created by Maltese artist Mariam De Giorgio, who works in acrylic, ink and watercolour with a whimsical, personal palette. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
