This work of art shows a single autumn leaf in intense colours and impressive depth of detail. The surface of the leaf is criss-crossed by a striking network of dark veins that stretches across the entire leaf like a natural mosaic. Shades of red, yellow and orange alternate, merging in gentle transitions and telling of the changing seasons. The texture of the leaf - with fine patterns, slight discolouration and small irregularities - is reminiscent of the traces of time that make every natural form unique.
This work invites viewers to pause and appreciate the often overlooked complexity of natural forms. A close look at the organic structure reveals a quiet poetry, an honouring of beauty in decay. The painting was created out of a desire to celebrate the natural geometry of a fallen leaf - symbolising transience and transformation.
The atmosphere is warm, contemplative and reminiscent of golden autumn afternoons. The composition appeals to people who want to combine fine aesthetics with emotional depth.
