Curator's Notes:
"Tulip Mania" by Diego Tirigall stands as a grand allegory that transcends the specific events of financial phenomena like GameStop and Reddit. This triptych delves deeply into the quintessence of human nature and our inherent tendencies. While each canvas independently narrates a tale, collectively, they scrutinize the depths of human behavior, beyond the confines of the financial sector.
The first panel, with its vigorous depiction of symbols from platforms such as Reddit and WallStreetBets, extends beyond a mere commentary on these entities to exemplify the broader human condition. Here, the technologies of our era act as a lens, amplifying our collective instincts. The portrayal of Donald Trump ascends beyond the political, symbolizing the universal themes of influence and authority, and provoking reflection on the way figures of power and mass media shape our choices and worldviews.
The central canvas, adorned with the Bitcoin emblem and the dollar sign, invites viewers to ponder the intrinsic value and our perceptions of it, echoing a discourse as ancient as commerce itself. The juxtaposition of a bear, indicative of market downturns, against symbols of prosperity, underscores the inextricable link between our economic actions and the larger cycles of boom and bust.
The concluding panel, with its stark 'FOMO' inscription amidst the pink tulips, speaks not only to the financial fears but to a deeply rooted trait within us all: the fear of missing out, the anxiety of not being part of the action. This piece beckons all viewers, regardless of their engagement with finance, to see themselves reflected in the universal human conditions that Tirigall skillfully portrays.
In its entirety, "Tulip Mania" is an invitation to introspection about our collective response to the ebb and flow of trends, influence, and panic that have coursed through humanity. Tirigall employs these financial elements not as confines for interpretation but as contemporary triggers for a wider reflection on timeless aspects of our psyche. The work, therefore, is a canvas of the eternal dance of ambition, fear, gain, and loss that defines our shared human journey.

Mi first painting commission
I just have to say – getting a commission from Tirigall was the best decision I’ve made. This was my first time ever commissioning a piece and, honestly, I was a little nervous. But Tirigall? He was totally on board, took his time, and really ‘got’ what I was looking for. The end result blew me away. So if you’re thinking about getting a commission, don’t hesitate. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
