Artwork location: Switzerland
This artwork depicts a mesmerizing close-up of a snail resting on a decaying leaf, showcasing an intriguing interplay between life and decay. The snail's shell, spiraled and textured in earthy browns, stands in stark contrast to the lush, deep greens of the surrounding foliage. The leaves, rendered with precision, display signs of aging with holes and blemishes, adding a layer of realism and depth. The artist meticulously captures the delicate sheen on the snail’s shell and the subtle gradients of the leaves, evoking a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. The composition balances detail and simplicity, inviting viewers to contemplate the quiet, unassuming beauty found in nature's overlooked corners. The artwork’s evocative use of light and shadow further enhances its lifelike quality, making it a captivating study of texture, color, and form.
The artwork is made with oil paints on a wooden base. Technique: multi-layered oil painting, dating back to the technology of the old masters. Each ink layer was varnished to create a sense of depth in the image. The varnish allows you to keep the colors bright and saturated for many years.
