Sanctuary of the Heart
24 x 24 inches Mix Media Oil Painting, in gallery wrapped canvas with borders finished painted in black. “Sanctuary of the Heart” is a mixed-media oil painting rooted in abstract realism. Its inspiration comes from the delicate presence of California poppies and butterflies—small, fleeting wonders that bring an immediate sense of joy when we encounter them. The piece was built through multiple layers of collage, silver leaf, cold wax, and oil paint, each layer adding depth, texture, and a quiet luminosity. Together, these elements create a visual sanctuary, echoing the gentle beauty that blossoms within the heart. Painting by Nicole Olalla. Comes with "Certificate of Authenticity", no duplication allowed. Artist retains copyright of the piece. Ships 15-16 business days of purchase (Monday-Friday) in special art packaging.
