Prepare for total immersion: let yourself be enveloped by the ancestral and material energy of this unique work, a tribute to the power of nature.

 A core of acorns nestles, almost sculpted, in a swirl of dry leaves.
 The scene emerges from an abstract and dynamic background, where the shades of burnt sienna, amber, mustard yellow and cocoa blend in a dense embrace that pulsates with autumnal life.
 The composition is pervaded by an extraordinary interweaving of textures and reliefs, which celebrate the passage and promise of new growth.

 This is not a simple still life, but the result of a profound alchemical experimentation, where painting meets nature itself. The work is enhanced by a mixed technique that makes the leaves almost rough and the acorns glossy.
 The most exclusive element is the use of turmeric as a natural pigment: this choice not only gives the yellows and ochres a warm and organic vibration, but conceptually links the work to the life cycle and the earth.

 Your space will gain in warmth, depth, and authenticity, thanks to the perfect balance created between the tactile explosion of textures and the eternal symbolism of the acorn (the small thing from which the majestic oak tree grows).

 This work was created entirely by hand, celebrating the magic of "wet-on-wet" watercolor combined with natural ink, allowing the pigments to dance freely on the high-quality paper, creating a surface rich in layers and secrets to be discovered.
