"LONDON!" | Original Corsica Flag Pop Art Canvas by Lau Costantini
Couldn't load pickup availability
I am Corsican like I am an artist — by birth.
In 1755, Pascal Paoli was elected General of the Corsican nation. That year, he declared Corsica’s independence, chose the iconic black-and-white flag, and began drafting a constitution that would later inspire the American founding fathers as they wrote the US Constitution.
After the defeat of the Corsican Republic by France, Paoli went into exile and was welcomed and pensioned by King George III of England. He lived out his final years in London, where a remembrance plaque and a bust in Westminster honour his legacy today.
While the Corsican flag is black and white, the story of Corsica, an island in the heart of the Mediterranean, is painted in a thousand colors. This painting is my tribute to those roots — both geographic and artistic — blending history, identity, and contemporary art.
Free Delivery in all those places.
Available Unframed & ready to hang.
One-of-a-kind original artwork — oil on a 30x30cm canvas (20mm)
“LONDON!” features a restrained, thoughtful palette of purples, blues, and greens, representing the quiet reflection of Paoli’s final years in exile. Each hue can also be found in as echoing tones through the serie, connecting the full story of his extraordinary journey — from Corsica to the world — through color and texture.

Story & Music
"LONDON!" is part of my new serie "Corsicana" inspired by my Pop Art roots and the saturated portraits of Warhol's designated icons, from Marilyn to Queen Elizabeth, which led to my own icon, symbol of my Family roots: the Corsican Flag.
Our Flag is cut in black and white, which would suggest a stark vision of our island and its people. I see it differently. Our history, our idiosyncrasies, our fractures and my journey, and the journey of all the people, who had to leave and look for a better life around the world make that flag an endless succession of layers and colours. I have but captured just a few.
