Paper Swan (2026)Mixed-media painting
by Steve Mitchell

This original, handcrafted mixed-media painting, captures the graceful and ephemeral beauty of a ballerina in a moment of quiet reflection.

Created using a unique collage technique with torn paper, traditional painting, and hand drawn details, this textured piece blends classical subject matter with a modern, impressionistic style.

I love using torn paper as a medium to build a collage. Every ripped edge, every fragment of faded text, holds its own history. It feels like I'm gathering little stories of the past together and coaxing them into something new.

The painting is framed in a black stained wood frame, as pictured.
