This image shows a still life of autumn leaves, with each layer carefully designed and placed to capture the depth and complexity of the season. The subtle transition of colours, from deep browns to fiery reds and soft golds, reflects the natural changes that take place as the days get shorter. The shadows and light are arranged to highlight the contours of each leaf, inviting the viewer to come closer and experience the artwork from different angles.
The composition shows influences from paper art, an art form that celebrates the simplicity and elegance of materials. The technique used to give the leaves their shape is reminiscent of origami, but with a more complex structure that offers more depth and detail. The play of light and shadow is a subtle nod to chiaroscuro, a technique often used in painting to create three-dimensional illusions on a two-dimensional surface.
This artwork is intended as a hushed snapshot, a visual reminder of the transience of the seasons. It invites the viewer to pause, reflect and perhaps even rediscover the serene beauty of autumn. It is a piece that brings both visual interest and a subtle invitation to introspection to any space.
