My painting Paisley Fantasy, which is currently being exhibited at the Bayswater Art Awards until 18 October 2015 at
The RISE
28 Eighth Ave, MAYLANDS
Monday to Sunday: 10:00am – 4:00pm
This is a painting of a dear friend of mine, who has left Perth to travel to fascinating lands where these paisleys originate from. Interestingly they call this one “estampado de bacteria” or “bacteria print” in Spanish. They also call it “Cachemira” referring to the geographic area of Kashmir. Naturally the origins of this design are disputed.
