This artwork may look like an abstract painting, but it is actually a photograph!
The colours and texture of the photo are a bit like an animal print. A fuzzy tiger print with its white, orange, and black stripes. And if you look closely, you will find a small heart in it. The artwork has soft orange and beige colours, contrasted with powerful black. This gives the sculpture a fine balance between soft and hard. It radiates warmth, love and tenderness.
This image is a detail shot of a weathered piece of wall, photographed in Asia. Due to the country's weather conditions, many walls are subject to moisture, erosion and overgrowth of organisms.

Colours fade, blend or flake off, and mosses begin to take on a life of their own, reviving colourfully after a heavy rain.
As one local put it very nicely; "These walls are alive, and painted by nature". Wonderful!
This picture is suitable for anyone looking for a special abstract artwork with a story. You can frame it and hang it on your wall as an eye-catcher, but you can also print it on wallpaper and turn your own wall into a unique work of art. That way, you can breathe new life into as many as two walls!
