European holly Painting

Description: This artwork is part of my series "When Life is Fading Away," in which I seek to capture the fragile beauty of nature in its final stages. In this piece, I depicted a skeletonized leaf of the European holly, which symbolizes the end of the life cycle for me. Even as life departs, its elegance and uniqueness remain, along with the delicate patterns left by time. I have always been fascinated by the combination of resilience and vulnerability in nature. In this series, I explore the aesthetics of fading plants and find incredible beauty that continues to exist even in the moment of decay. I chose watercolor and ink to convey both the softness of natural transformations and the clarity of the details that remain over time. For me, this work is not just an artistic expression but a reminder of the importance of preserving and respecting nature for future generations. My botanical illustrations are not just quickly executed, they are a multi-layered process that requires hours of meticulous work. Every tiny detail is carefully crafted to convey the full beauty and unique characteristics of each plant. This labor-intensive process makes each piece truly valuable and cherished by art connoisseurs. The works are made on 100% Saunders Waterford archival quality 300g/cm cotton watercolour paper, using the world's best watercolour inks with the highest lightfastness index.
