Artwork location: Bulgaria
This captivating artwork presents an abstract, elongated form reminiscent of an angel. The piece reveals a harmonious blend of muted greens, blues, and grays, creating a palette that is both subtle and striking. The fluid lines and contours evoke a sense of graceful movement, inviting the viewer's eye to follow the undulating curves. The composition's gentle gradation and feathery texture infuse it with an ethereal elegance, suggesting the fluidity of nature.
This work is distinguished by its minimalist yet profound expression, drawing the viewer into a meditative visual journey. Its unique ability to simultaneously convey movement and tranquility defines its captivating character.
The use of industrial hemp fibers is essential to the artwork's identity—materials that embody both resilience and responsibility. This choice of materials ensures the artwork's durability over time, while simultaneously reflecting a respectful and sustainable approach to the natural world.
*The artwork comes with a built-in metal hanger, ready to hang on the wall.
