Original artwork description:

This abstract painting showcases large, textured patches reminiscent of a beetle's back, rendered in a lustrous pearl color. The artwork is crafted using textured paste, which adds depth and dimension to the beetle-like forms, making them almost come alive against the backdrop.

The background is a solid black, providing a dramatic contrast that enhances the iridescent quality of the pearl-colored textures. This deliberate choice of colors aims to evoke a sense of mystery and elegance, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the beetle’s spines.

Inspired by the natural world, this piece invites contemplation of the beauty and complexity found in even the smallest creatures. The interplay of light on the pearl surfaces creates a dynamic visual experience, encouraging viewers to engage with the artwork from different angles.

I chose this medium to capture the tactile essence of nature, allowing the viewer to appreciate not only the visual beauty but also the textural richness of the piece. This painting serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between simplicity and intricacy, inviting us to find beauty in the details that often go unnoticed.

NOTE: Best displayed with soft side lighting to reveal the depth of its texture and details.
