The third ARTBURO lot coming up for auction is a resplendent Hermes Birkin Bag - 35 cm, Togo leather, Golden HardWare – featuring a hand-painted reproduction of Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali’s brilliant painting titled Metamorphose de Narcisse or the Metamorphosis of Narcissus.
Painted in 1937 at the height of Dali’s Paranoiac-Critical creative period when he plunged into his dreams and subconscious to come up with stark and stunning visual imagery that has been stunning art aficionados ever since, this mythic themed original painting has been on display at Tate Modern, London, since 1958 with occasional loans to other reputed art exhibitions.
Just as a Hermes Birkin Bag is a superb fusion of classic design and fluid grace, Metamorphose de Narcisse is a stunning spectacle of profound symbolism and flawless technique. In this remarkable bag, ARTBURO unites the two to create a masterpiece of wearable art that’s nothing short of a revelation. As this painting delivers a psychoanalytical view of the Greek myth of Narcissus, the youth who loved his own image and died to be reborn as a flower, this bag also represents the power of the subconscious. Eminently suited for the elegant intellectual who knows how to make a strong statement, shall we say!
ARTBURO is recognized as the leading custom luxury company that amalgamates high esthetics and supreme skill to create uniquely personalized bags and other luxe items for its discerning clients worldwide. As the company never repeats its designs, this beautiful bag, painted by high caliber artists using the very best Italian paints, will never be reproduced by ARTBURO.
While the regular clientele of the company includes the veritable who’s who of the celebrity circles, this auction is the perfect opportunity for everyone with high taste to own this only-one-of-its-kind piece of water-resistant wearable art that will remain as it is without fading, chipping or cracking. Befitting a worthy art investment, it will also appreciate in financial value over time.
This enthralling hand-painted Birkin Bag is now awaiting bids from true connoisseurs.
