" Grand Prix Open " - Scrooge & Speed Monza 2023 In this bold Pop Art composition, Scrooge McDuck—a symbol of wealth and ambition—is captured mid-swing on a pristine golf course, dressed in modern, fashion-forward attire. Just beside him stands the iconic Ferrari Formula1 car, driven by Charles Leclerc, its unmistakable red form radiating speed and power.
This striking juxtaposition merges two seemingly different worlds: the calm, strategic elegance of golf and the high-octane adrenaline of Formula One. The idea for the painting was born in Monza, during a rare moment when both the Golf Grand Prix and the Formula 1 Grand Prix took place in the same week—a collision of tradition and velocity.
Aurelia’s signature style with vibrant colours, luxury symbolism, and bold contrasts celebrate the ambition, success, and lifestyle, where time, performance, and identity collide in playful harmony.
The inclusion of Ferrari—especially in a year when the team achieved a long-awaited victory at Monza—adds a layer of historical relevance to the piece. Scrooge, as always, stands at the center of it all: composed, confident, and entirely in control.
“I wanted to freeze that unique energy in Monza—when tradition and thrill lived side by side. Scrooge became the perfect symbol: ambitious, unapologetic, and always aiming higher. Placing him next to Ferrari’s long-awaited win felt like capturing the moment success hits its stride.” - Aurelia
