A front facing cockroach stands centered on an aqua field, its back dotted with bright spots that echo small orbs around the figure. Fine hatch marks and schematic lines weave through the background, suggesting a map or a record of movement. A thin red accent at the thorax adds a quiet spark without breaking the calm. Thanks to the strong silhouette the form reads instantly, and close viewing reveals tiny cuts, rings, and textures that reward the eye.
This piece explores clarity and ornament in equal measure. The palette is limited and the shapes are decisive so the character feels iconic rather than literal. It sits comfortably between natural history and contemporary design, poised for modern interiors that prefer restraint over noise.
The atmosphere is bright, orderly, and uplifting. It suits living rooms, workspaces, and entryways that need a refined focal point. Digital watercolor bases, hand drawn engraving lines, and controlled paper grain ensure a crisp and tactile finish at large scale, producing a premium contemporary folk art statement.
