About the artwork

After having ascertained that the wolfelines are not interested in me, I notice with a hint of anxiety that they are not the only eyes I had on me.
Literally thousands and thousands of small, curious eyes are sprouting on the ground.
They are similar to small snails, and probably once had motor skills, but as they evolved they became part of the forest's plant ecosystem, fertilizing the subsoil extremely efficiently, but they also seem to have a kind of sentry function.

“Buried Snail” presents a sophisticated fusion of abstract drawing and minimalism with a subdued color palette primarily featuring greens, beiges, and browns, highlighted by accents of black and yellow. The application of fluid and transparent colors, alongside distinct black lines, creates organic and abstract forms that symbolize the buried snail, evoking notions of shelter and transformation. The composition achieves a dynamic equilibrium between movement and stillness, illustrating the snail's suspended state of life. Through its simplicity and abstraction, the piece encourages subjective interpretations, reflecting themes of confinement, rest, and the natural cycle. Influenced by minimalism and contemporary digital art, it embodies a modern illustrative style that conveys strong emotions while inviting personal engagement from the viewer.
