“Time to Dare” is a pop street art painting created by PVettese using mixed media on canvas. This unique piece, measuring 50 x 61 cm, depicts a powerful and instantly recognizable scene: the character Super Mario advances toward a young girl inspired by Banksy, while a carnivorous plant with visible teeth occupies the center of the composition.
The background of the work is constructed as a vibrant urban landscape. It blends splashes of paint, drips, inscriptions, tags, drawn flowers, gestural marks, and vivid colors. The red, pink, green, blue, and orange tones give the canvas an intense street art energy, while the black and white outlines reinforce the graphic impact of the characters.
PVettese’s universe emerges here through the contrast between innocence and the contemporary world. The colorful, familiar pop character is set against a more ambivalent scene, marked by the presence of the carnivorous plant and the black-and-white female silhouette. The title *Time to Dare* underscores this idea of boldness: moving forward, taking a chance, initiating an encounter, embracing the unknown.
This contemporary pop art piece has a strong decorative presence. It would be at home in a modern living room, an office, a creative space, or a collection dedicated to street art, pop art, and figurative contemporary art.
The artist’s works are featured in numerous private collections around the world (Europe, the United States, China, Mexico, and Australia). She is listed in the Akoun and Drouot catalogs and won the People’s Choice Award in 2020. Each work is packed with the utmost care and shipped via a specialized carrier, secured with a signature-required delivery.
