Ghost Orchid

Oversized white orchid blooms float across the canvas like giant butterflies escaping a dream. They cling with moss-covered roots to the bark of an old tree, also draped in green. A faint, cold light pierces the dim greenery, illuminating petals that seem about to vanish.

This flower is one of the rarest in the world. To encounter it is a stroke of luck – almost a myth. The painting is executed in oil, in a restrained yet deep palette: white, emerald, grey, aged silver. A sense of silence, mystery, and awe before something elusive.
