NATURAL HISTORY

SPIRAL SHELLED SNAILS MUNCH AWAY ON THE ORNAMENTAL LEAVES OF A 17TH CENTURY CEILING; A MEANDERING SNAKE SAVORS THE LANGUOR OF BEING IMMORTALIZED ON AN 18TH CENTURY WALL. I THINK SHES A HAPPY SNAKE SO THE LADY OF THE HOUSE MUSES . . . .

Combining an original training in Biology, History and Arts with 15 years of experience in interior design, Korver specialises in using monumental and historical interiors as his canvas. His meticulously painted animals give these monuments a brand new and bristling historical context or brush off the existing one. Gardensnails and Gecko's, Seaturtles, giant Boa Constrictors, copulating Butterflies, and Birds gathering nestmaterial thus give new meaning to the concept of Natural History.
