"Aster," by Ken Kammal, is a delicately composed acrylic painting that honors the quiet strength of this timeless bloom. Known for symbolizing wisdom, patience, and elegance, the aster invites viewers into a space of gentle resilience and quiet reflection. Completed in 2024, this 20" x 16" piece is part of Kammal’s Plants in a Portal collection, which highlights nature’s spiritual and symbolic presence in a changing world.

 

The artwork is framed in a 3-inch wide gold-painted wooden frame with a raised and rounded top edge, crafted from solid wood composition and coated with gesso for a smooth, flawless finish that elevates the flower’s subtle power.

Care Instructions

Artwork Care Instructions

1. Display Placement:

  • Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration.

  • Keep away from high humidity areas (e.g., bathrooms) to avoid warping or mold.

  • Do not hang above heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.

2. Cleaning:

  • Dust the surface gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

  • Do not use water, sprays, or cleaning agents on the painting or frame.

  • If framed with glass, clean only the glass surface carefully with glass cleaner sprayed onto a cloth (never directly on the frame).

3. Framing Care:

  • The gold-painted wooden frame with gesso coating is delicate; handle with clean hands or gloves.

  • Use a soft cloth to gently wipe the frame. Avoid abrasive materials that may damage the finish.

4. Handling:

  • Always lift artwork with both hands, holding the sides of the frame—not the top.

  • Avoid touching the painted surface directly.

5. Storage:

  • Store in a climate-controlled, dry space.

  • If unframed or in transport, wrap in acid-free paper and bubble wrap, then place in a sturdy box or crate.

6. Professional Maintenance:

  • For deep cleaning or restoration, consult a professional art conservator.
