Photosynthetic City (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Dora Stork

Encaustic and shellac burn on board

Photosynthetic City invites the viewer into a surreal urban landscape where architecture and nature merge in unexpected harmony. Organic forms intertwine with city-like structures, creating a dreamlike vision of a world sustained by light and growth. The vibrant orange sphere radiates energy against a deep blue sky, suggesting both a sunlit metropolis and a living organism, while delicate white bursts evoke the resilience of nature. This work balances strength and fragility, structure and spontaneity — an expressive moment frozen in wax and fire.

The MDF panel is mounted on a frame. Ready to hang!
