Ophrys holoserica - Bumblebee Ragwort - 85 x 65 cm

85 x 65 cm

Acrylic on canvas.

The Bumblebee Orchid was created in 2023. It is one out of four ophrys orchid species paintings created as part of my conservation art project. A total of 26 painted orchid paintings were created for my project "The Orchids of the Danube-Auen National Park," which I worked on from autumn 2020 to autumn 2023.

The delicate pink and brown orchid flowers stand out beautifully against the deep pink background and make the picture shine!

The height (length) of the work is 85 cm, the width 65 cm. The sealed acrylic painting is mounted on a individually tailored, in art retailers Stretched on a stretcher frame (thickness about 1.8 cm).

The size of the painting makes it ideal as the main picture in a medium-sized room, office, waiting room, etc., which will decorate and enliven it in a cheerful and elegant way.

I am increasingly using environmentally friendly paints and materials.

I frame, prime, and prime many of my works myself, like this one. I skip the intermediate step of sanding the canvas, which has the effect of making the painting virtually impossible to fake, as the tiny bumps in the canvas's fabric structure can't be replicated. For me, these represent an artistic fingerprint! When looking at the painting in everyday life, these small bumps are not noticeable.
