A vibrant and texturally rich mixed media composition by contemporary American artist Mario Naves, titled “Birds, Angels, Trees and Rainbows” and dated 2006. Executed in acrylic paint and pasted paper on canvas, this large-scale abstract collage exemplifies Naves’ signature approach—layering torn and painted elements into a dynamic, mosaic-like surface filled with movement and color. Dominated by cool greens and blues with striking accents of red, yellow, and white, the work conveys an energetic interplay between structure and spontaneity. The reverse bears the artist’s handwritten title, date, signature, and medium, confirming authenticity. Presented on a stretcher with visible studio markings, this piece offers strong visual impact and would make a compelling addition to any contemporary art collection. Approx. size (in): 36 x 37 x 2.
