The Venetian Ball I – Limited Edition (25)

The Venetian Ball - Limited Edition (25)

This fine art print is based on an original 36 x 36 inch oil on canvas painting by Ruben Dario. The Venetian Ball is inspired by the timeless allure of Venice, where beauty and mystery meet behind every mask. Through layered forms, geometry, and vibrant color, the work explores the tension between what we reveal and what we conceal.

Referencing the spirit of the Venetian Carnival, the composition reflects a world where identity becomes fluid and truth hides behind elegance. Light and shadow, openness and secrecy exist side by side, echoing contemporary realities shaped by power, illusion, and choice. Rather than condemning, the work invites reflection, affirming that meaning and integrity ultimately remain a personal responsibility.

Framing

This piece is offered framed as the standard edition. It is custom framed, mounted with archival photo corners rather than adhesive so it can be removed or reframed without damage, and glazed with UV protective plexiglass to prevent fading over time, and arrives ready to hang. 

An unframed option is also available for buyers who prefer to frame the piece themselves or already have a frame in mind, shipped rolled in a protective tube.
