Fossil Painting

“Fossil” draws its inspiration from the deep and enduring connection between time and nature. The concentric rings represent the layers of history embedded within the earth, much like the preserved remnants of ancient organisms. The textured, circular form evokes the idea of a fossil, encapsulating the passage of time and the stories of the past. I hope that viewers will be reminded of nature’s quiet yet powerful presence in our world. The layers of texture invite the audience to explore the surface, contemplating the cycles of life, decay, and preservation. The earthy tones combined with subtle metallic elements create a feeling of both age and timelessness, sparking a reflection on what we leave behind. The piece utilizes a heavily textured, abstract style to mimic the rugged and complex surface of a fossil. The use of a palette knife allowed for creating a tactile, almost three-dimensional effect that encourages interaction beyond visual observation. The muted color palette is inspired by the natural world, enhanced by metallic undertones to add depth and intrigue.
