Expect the Unexpected (2025)Acrylic painting by Samantha Malone

Signed Certificate of Authenticity.

The artwork has been finished with a gloss varnish to protect against UV and dust.

The artwork was painted on un-stretched Italian cotton canvas, with a 5-6 cm border left for stretching onto a canvas frame. This artwork is shipped rolled in a tube for safe international delivery and can be affordably stretched at your local framing store.

"Expect the Unexpected" is a playful abstract artwork that unfolded in real time, revealing its own rhythm as I worked. The forms layered and intertwined naturally, creating a composition that feels both structured and free. I love the moment when a painting surprises me—when I step back and realize it has become something I never could have predicted. The color palette plays a huge role in that process. Deep, earthy tones ground the piece, while vibrant pops of color bring energy and movement. The contrast between bold, defined shapes and fluid, organic forms creates a sense of dynamic balance—like a conversation between structure and spontaneity.

This painting is about embracing those moments of discovery, letting go of control, and finding joy in the unexpected.

Shipping: The artwork is shipped via DHL or FedEx Express with tracked shipping in a sturdy tube.
