Flirt with style - love to go

Neon pink is not a whisper. Neon pink is an invitation. This work does not want to disappear behind glass, it wants to be seen - on the street, in a café, in conversation. In the middle is a second-hand Louis Vuitton wallet that I painted by hand: there's a little crown on the top left and a winking heart emoji on the front. A smile with a kiss - playful, light, self-confident. A flirt with style. Love to go.

The background is not a backdrop, but a StageA 50 × 70 cm canvas sprayed in soft pink and densely strewn with silk rose petals. Each leaf casts its own shadow, each bulge catches light and returns it differently. This creates movement, even when everything is still. The delicate leaves stand for romance, the brilliant surface for pop and the overall picture for a Statement. And the wallet? It detaches from the screen with a click, disappears into your hand and returns - a little richer in meaning than before.

Why this crown? Because luxury often plays crown, but rarely attitude. The crown marks the object as an icon and at the same time takes away the untouchability of the icon. It is not a "halo", but an invitation: wear it, show it, make it yours. And the emoji? A small theater of the present. A wink that says: "I'm serious - just not solemn." Love doesn't have to be pathetic, it can be light-footed, with humor and a touch of exuberance that carries you through a door you wouldn't have opened otherwise.

I do not work with "finished" objects, but with Biographies. A good Wallet already tells its storybefore I paint it. Scratches, edges and small marks are indications that this object has lived. My painting is a second voice that doesn't drown it out, but answers it. And you are the third. Because this work is portable and "fully operational" - it is meant to be taken down, used and hung up again. Interaction is not a danger, but the value driver. Patina as handwriting. Use as meaning.

Neon pink - why so loud? Because love can be visible. Because romance in 2025 doesn't have to speak in sepia. The strong pink does not make the dark monogram appear smaller, but clearer. It brings the object to the fore and frames it softly at the same time. The contrast between the velvety-soft flowers and the robust surface of the wallet is intentional: Gentleness meets steadfastness. Who says that a luxury object can only appear soft or only hard? It shines brightest in friction.

Technically, the piece is constructed in such a way that it takes the movement from the wall to the hand seriously. The magnetic staging holds the wallet securely, but releases it with a single gesture. It is hand-signed and has a matching number on the canvas and object so that the unity remains visible. The work is available as No. 004-25 listed. Dimensions, materials and the "take-it-with-you" concept are communicated openly, because transparency is part of my practice.

And yes, this is also a game with roles: Who are you when you wear this piece? Collector, flâneur, performer - all at the same time. The emoji makes it easy to switch roles. All it takes is a wink and distance becomes closeness. From "What does it cost?" becomes "Tell us about it!". At this moment, the work leaves the sphere of status and enters the sphere of relationship. Love to take away is not an empty phrase, but a practice. You take meaning with you and leave a mark.

Sometimes I hear: "Isn't it risky to carry a work of art outside?" - I reply: "Isn't it risky to lock up art?" Art that breathes should be in the open air. It can change color in the light, wear slightly on the edge and become more supple in the hand. These unpredictable nuances turn an edition into a unique object. That is why my works are unique and marked as such. Each piece is 1/1 - not out of exclusivity fetishism, but because your story cannot be copied.

The title "Flirt with style - love to go" is not just a mood, but also a beat. It sets the pace at which you can read the work: lively, open and with a desire to smile in between. Nothing has to be explained, everything can be shown. The work deliberately plays on the border between romance and fashion and at the same time explains why it is no fashion is: It is called Work of art presented, sold and used. The formal details are unmistakable: removable, usable, hand-painted, hand-signed, with the matching number 004-25 and listed as a unique item in the store.
My store

I believe in art that goes out. In luxury that lives. In objects that grow with you instead of defining you. This piece is a good start: it's eye-catching enough to be seen and subtle enough to last. When you hang it on the wall again in the evening, it will be more than just a wallet. There hangs your day.
