The Winter Flower Bear Artist Self Portrait - Unframed Gallery Wrapped Giclée by Riccoboni

Part self-portrait, part surreal fantasy — The Winter Flower Bear is one of RD Riccoboni's most personal and beloved works. A signature reflection in suspenders, this is where masculine and feminine meet. The Flower Bears are studied in university gender studies programs. The artist reimagines himself as a Flower Bear: here he steps out of winter and cruises into the next season of spring — a bearded, larger-than-life figure wreathed in vibrant blooms, radiating joy, color, and the spirit of California creativity. It is whimsical, warm, and unmistakably Riccoboni.

The Flower Bear has become an iconic character in RD's world — a symbol of self-expression, community, and the beauty of being exactly who you are. This unframed gallery wrapped giclée brings that energy directly to your wall, ready to hang and impossible to ignore.

When in San Diego, visit the artist's studio in the Arts Center in Spanish Village, located inside Balboa Park — one of America's best urban cultural parks.
