Forest. Precious stones abstract

Forest. Precious stones abstract.

The sculptural painting is an abstract representation of a forest, made in a mixed technique using precious stones such as cats eye, jade, chrysoprase, quartz, agate, jasper, hematite, citrine, red coral, onyx, moonstone, chalcedony, carnelian.
Each of the stones adds its own texture and color, creating a multi-layered composition that attracts attention and arouses interest.

The combination of texture, gold and voluminous stones creates a lively and attractive atmosphere, pleasant tactile. Wide golden and thin white stripes symbolize tree trunks. Multicolored yellow, red, and green stones create a feeling of foliage, forming a dynamic, textured image. The foliage contrasts with the juicy red, crimson, and orange hues of the berries.
The suns rays break through the greenery, and it seems that the image is warm.

The arrangement of the elements is chaotic, but at the same time holistic, which leads to a rich and interesting visual experience. The effect of a living forest is created, where each element becomes part of a single whole, forming a harmonious composition.

The style of the painting is reminiscent of Gustav Klimts style, with an emphasis on ornament and decorativeness.
