The art of painting desire and curating luxury
Seductive art for the discerning eye
Playing with the sensuality of luxury
I am Cassidy Austin, a contemporaty figurative oil painter trained in Florence, Italy.
From my studio in Southern California, I delve into the aesthetics of desire, using sensual imagery to celebrate the feminine form alongside symbols of wealth and luxury.
My canvas becomes a playground for the opulent — luxury watches, purses, champagne, and cigars coalesce with nostalgic toys and treats.
Each piece is an invitation to collectors to reconnect with their own sensuality and indulgence, while also serving as a commentary on societal values surrounding wealth and beauty.
