Golden Waxcap

This artwork presents an evocative study of the golden waxcap mushroom, seamlessly blending photographic detail with abstract, serene shapes and muted tones. The vivid, translucent orange-yellow gills and stem of the fungus stand out against softened blocks of olive green and warm coral hues, echoing the delicate waxy texture of this rare species. The composition invites reflection on the quiet beauty found in nutrient-poor, ancient grasslands, where this mushroom thrives, hinting at the ecological narratives hidden within unspoiled natural habitats.
