lichen 2 (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Lander Ver Eecke

Lichen II is a large-scale exploration of one of nature’s most colourful yet overlooked life forms. Lichen exists in a vast spectrum of colour — fiery reds and oranges alongside cool greens and blues — often within a single organism.

This piece captures that contrast in one continuous gradient: a glowing core of red and orange dissolving into cooler tones of turquoise and blue. The surface, built with handmade paste, carries the same fine, granular texture found on lichen-covered stone — rough, layered, and alive with detail up close.

Fine cracks and natural variations run throughout the piece, formed as the paste dried and settled — each one unrepeatable.

Part of my Earthbound Abstraction series, Lichen II is a tribute to the quiet, colourful resilience of nature’s smallest survivors.
