About this painting

Basquiat's Defiant Manifestation

Diego Tirigall's Basquiat Portrait Fuel captures the rebellious spirit of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a nonconforming postmodern icon who audaciously defied standard art norms. With his vibrant vision, he transformed the way we perceive and value creativity. Tirigall's artwork does more than just paint a picture of Basquiat, it beckons spectators to appreciate the unapologetic independence and poignant defiance that are not only indicative of the subject but also epitomize the essence of postmodern art. The inclusion of the word 'FUEL' brings an added layer, raising deep questions about the muse and life force behind Basquiat's contentious art.

Colorful Conversation Beyond Form

Using a technique of enamel painting and favoring a determined pastel green shade, Tirigall amplifies the sense of moving past a simple physical depiction of Basquiat to immerse into the complex landscape of his soul and artistry. This may remind some of Plato's theory of "Ideal Forms". Through each hue and knitted layer of the painting, Tirigall presents viewers with the perfect form of Basquiat's spirit and energy, exceeding beyond his physical image. Much like Plato, Tirigall invites us to probe and question the profound realities beneath surface appearances.

Layered Tribute to Defying Spirit

Paying homage to one of the most influential artists of the last century, Tirigall captures the palpable rage and chaos that were hallmarks of Basquiat's work. He encourages viewers to reflect on the unparalleled impact Basquiat had on the evolution of contemporary art. In doing so, Basquiat Portrait Fuel becomes more than just a physical depiction, but an emotional abstraction that offers insight into Basquiat's defiant spirit. The painting, phenomenally charged with emotions, becomes a platform to contemplate the source of the postmodern icon's dynamic creativity.

Exceeded Expectations and Surprised Me!

Tirigall truly exceeded every expectation. Diego was an absolute pleasure to work with, always intuitively grasping and accommodating my specific preferences with unparalleled patience. The painting, an immediate highlight in my collection, arrived exactly as it was portrayed in the website images. The thoughtful inclusion of a pair of white, museum-grade gloves for the handling and hanging of the artwork was a delightful surprise – a detail so remarkable that I just had to share it on my Instagram! Thank you, Diego, for your exceptional service and for this stunning addition to my collection. Your attention to detail truly caters to those of us who appreciate the finer nuances.

The Longevity and Excellence of My Art

Unwavering Commitment to Quality: When it comes to my art, I place an uncompromised emphasis on quality. My commitment to excellence extends beyond aesthetics to the painstaking selection of materials that will ensure longevity and maintain the vibrancy of my work. From the top-tier varnishes to the specialized protective layers - every choice is a conscious step towards creating an investment that will stand the test of time.

Time-Honored Techniques of the Great Masters: In the footsteps of the great masters throughout history, I diligently apply a protective coat to each piece before the varnishing process. This meticulous method, often bypassed in modern-day painting, serves as a pivotal element in preserving the original charm and enabling future restoration of each artwork. Even though this additional step influences my profit margin, I firmly believe in its importance for ensuring each masterpiece I create can withstand the passage of time, enabling enjoyment across generations.

Longevity of the Pieces: One of the most important aspects of my work is the longevity of the pieces. I take great pride in using only the highest quality, professional-grade materials in my paintings. This ensures that the art you invest in today will endure, retaining its vibrancy and detail for a lifetime. The durability of my work is a testament to my commitment to quality and the love I have for my craft.

In the past four years, the growing recognition of my art on the international scene is reflected in the consistent increase in the value of my pieces. My works have made their way into prestigious art galleries from Beverly Hills to Seoul, adorning the walls of art lovers worldwide.

Proactive in My Career: Balancing creative passion with the business acumen necessary in the 21st century, I take a proactive role in my career. I'm not waiting for opportunities to knock; I'm creating them.

Investment in Social Message: When you invest in my art, you're also investing in a powerful social message. Each piece serves as a catalyst for meaningful conversations and critical reflections on societal issues.

Capturing the Energy of the Streets: My art captures the unabashed energy of the streets. It's a defiant beauty that refuses to blend into the background. When you bring one of my pieces into your home, you're not just decorating a space; you're injecting it with the dynamic energy of the urban landscape.

Committed to Quality, Even in Transit

When you invest in my art, you're investing in more than the artwork itself. You're investing in a process that prioritizes quality, down to the smallest detail, including shipping.

Artisan Packaging: Every box I use for shipping is hand-crafted and specially made to fit each unique painting.

Professional Standard Wooden Crates: For larger pieces, I employ robust wooden crates that meet the strictest professional standards of shipping, akin to those used by art galleries and museums worldwide.

A Layered Approach to Protection: These crates are prepared meticulously with layers of professional-grade protective materials. Acid-free tissue paper, bubble wrap, foam corner protectors, and ultra-resistant cardboard layers come together to form a 'floating' cushion for the artwork, ensuring it remains safe and secure during transit.

Preparation Time The process of packaging, arranging pick-up, and gathering the artwork from storage can take up to three days for cardboard boxes. With regards to wooden crates, I often have a few prepared in my studio to expedite the process, but there can be exceptions. Specific timelines can be discussed anytime upon request.

Shipping Your art is typically shipped within 3 to 5 business days following packaging, including international shipments to the United States.

Personalized Tracking and Customer Support: I take a hands-on approach to every stage of the shipping process, offering manual updates at each step. I'm available for any questions or concerns you might have during this time.

Confidence in Art, Confidence in Purchase

One unique aspect of supporting my art is the unparalleled '7-Day Money Back Guarantee' that I provide. I take great pride in my work and am always thrilled when collectors tell me that my paintings are even more impressive in person than in photographs. This consistency in exceeding expectations has given me the confidence to offer this guarantee.

7-Day Money Back Guarantee: In the unlikely event that you're not fully satisfied with the artwork once it arrives, I offer a full refund. Whether it's not quite what you imagined or it doesn't fit in your space the way you'd hoped, I understand.
