Artwork description
Emerging from darkness, a pair of Portobello mushrooms rest in quiet communion — one upright, the other reclined, revealing the dusky fan of its gills. Earthy whites and warm umbers mingle across their textured forms, evoking the richness of soil and the hush of undergrowth. Light glances gently off their caps and stems, illuminating creases and folds like soft echoes of the forest floor. Shades of Fungi is an ode to the unnoticed — a still life rooted in the beauty of decay, resilience, and the hidden life that flourishes in shadow.
