THE ARTWORK

Felipe Cardeña - Boy with Basket of Fruit

Felipe Cardeña's unique work, Boy with Basket of Fruit was created in mixed media on canvas and is signed in original by the artist.

At the heart of the work, we can find the famous painting Boy with Basket of Fruit, an homage to the master of chiaroscuro, Michelangelo Merisi, known as the Caravaggio. Cardeña shows admiration for the famous late 16th-century oil on canvas preserved in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, restoring the subject in a pop style.

Thanks to the collage technique, highly vivid colors characterize this artwork, which are juxtaposed by agreement or contrast. The strong vortex composed of natural elements accompanies all the artist's works and contours the Caravaggio, giving new contemporary nuances to classicism.

Boy with Basket of Fruit was made in 2023 and measures 80 x 80 cm.

Felipe Cardeña - The Artists’ Biography

Born in 1979, Felipe Cardeña is a mysterious street artist.

He has been described as an "enigmatic artist in the vein of Banksy," an artist who keeps his true identity concealed from most.
In contrast to his anonymity, his works are widely recognized. His artistic creations primarily blend elements of pop culture with vibrant flowers.

After participating in various exhibitions such as Vade Retro (curated by Vittorio Sgarbi and Eugenio Viola) and Street Art Sweet Art in Milan, Cardeña embarked on his first major project in late 2007: Power Flower. This project provides an opportunity to explore colors, delve into their nuances, and experiment with combinations.

Felipe Cardena's Works and the Power Flower Universe

The subjects in the Power Flower project range from ancient Greek statues to comic book characters and pop icons like superheroes and pin-up girls. A common feature in the artist's works is the presence of bright backgrounds.

This large-scale, ever-evolving collage consists of numerous vivid images derived from a shared imagination.
Felipe Cardena's art is rooted in nonconformity, as evidenced by his recurrent use of floral elements in his works. Flowers are a recurring motif in all his vibrant pieces, symbolizing the beauty and harmony of nature, life, and the world.

The joyful and positive aesthetic of the Spanish artist describes flowers as wonderful models upon which to build the creative geography of his universe. The almost obsessive abundance of flowers in his works makes him unique, eccentric, and even quirky.

"I would like to transform the chaos of the world into beauty and the difficulty of living into eternal aesthetic joy." - Felipe Cardeña
