Original artwork description
Abstract artwork “BEAUTY OF DECAY” is an original painting on a large canvas that focuses on the beauty of decay.
This abstract artwork is built up from layers of acrylic paint and mixed media.
The artwork depicts a section of a wall with peeling plaster and paint, revealing more and more of the underlying layers.
With this painting, I aim to express my love for weathered walls, peeling paint, rusty surfaces and faded posters, where texture and material play a significant role.
The combination of soft green tones, off-white and contrasting accents of rust and black creates a strong sense of contrast and visual tension. The work feels raw and layered, with a clear focus on texture, wear and the passage of time. This makes the painting appealing to collectors who find inspiration in things in decay and value authentic, lived-in aesthetics.
This large canvas artwork fits well within a modern interior, industrial space or art collection where abstract art and urban influences converge. “Beauty of Decay” is a powerful statement piece that emphasises the beauty of imperfection and transience.

Acrylic paint, pencil, oil pastel
