Description

This vibrant and highly textured contemporary mixed-media artwork is by the French artist Kalinka Duaiv, daughter of the acclaimed painter Duaiv. Titled "Authentic Heart," the central composition features a stylized heart rendered with dynamic, impasto-like horizontal bands of orange, yellow, and white on its right side, contrasted against a deep blue field punctuated by fine white strokes on the left—evoking a symbolic representation of the American flag. The central emblem is dramatically enveloped by a swirling, intensely saturated magenta-pink background.

The work is a limited-edition piece produced using Park West Gallery’s signature "Optigraph" technique, which replicates rich dimensional brushwork directly onto a sleek acrylic surface. The artwork is hand-signed "Kalinka" in the lower right corner and numbered 315/350 in the lower left corner. The reverse retains a professional corporate registration label from a gallery auction event in Tampa dated 05/19/2022. It is presented in an upscale, turnkey display consisting of a thick white linen liner and a wide, rustic white wooden frame with a distinct grain pattern.
