2023, acrylic, glue, paper on canvas, 24x19 cm /// Decoupage is based on an abstract idea – including the choice of figure, shape, colour and object. Dmitrijs Lavrentjevs (1970) started to work in the decoupage technique in 2004, and in 2006, the artist organized a solo show, “23 Women”, where 23 decoupages were dedicated exclusively to women. After 20 years, work in decoupage techniques has become more complex, painterly, and diverse. The author uses a full-colour palette, which can be found in the acrylic paint range. The artist says that this is his “know-how”. /// The artist’s signature and date are on the lower right.
