Ulysses #029 ‘Figrolls, Tea & Jam’

Ulysses Page #029 ‘Sweetened with Tea and Jam

This striking red abstract painting is a celebration of passion, energy, and vitality, inspired by the evocative words of James Joyce on page 29 of Ulysses: “sweetened with tea and jam.” The artwork blends the intensity of deep crimson with dynamic strokes of scarlet and warm undertones, mirroring the vivid emotions and sensory richness of Joyce’s writing.

In color psychology, red is the color of strength, power, and desire. It ignites energy, boosts confidence, and commands attention, making it a bold statement piece for any room. The fiery hues evoke feelings of warmth and excitement, stimulating both the heart and the mind. Red has the power to elevate emotions and spark creativity, while its richness conveys luxury and depth.

The inspiration from Joyce’s lyrical phrase is woven into the painting’s layers: the sweetness of life, the warmth of human connection, and the boldness of flavor and experience. This artwork is perfect for spaces that call for a sense of drama and vitality—be it a living room, dining area, or creative studio.

Add this one-of-a-kind painting to your collection and let its vibrant energy and literary roots fill your space with life, power, and artistic sophistication.
