Protective image - Flesh-colored orchid - Dactylorhiza incarnata (75 x 110 cm)

Acrylic painting sealed.

110 x 75 cm

Dactylorhiza incarnata is one of a total of 26 painted orchid images from my project "The Orchids of the Danube-Auen National Park," on which I worked from autumn 2020 to autumn 2023. The painting serves as a symbol of protection for the species and is intended to remind humanity that these species must be preserved!

One of the largest and most striking works of this nature conservation art project is Dactylorhiza incarnata. The vibrant colors of the blossoming purple orchid stand in harmonious contrast to the bright yellow background.

Due to the size of the painting, it is ideally suited as a main picture in a room, making it cheerful, elegant and lively.

The artwork measures 110 cm in height (length) and 75 cm in width. The sealed acrylic painting is mounted on a individually tailored, in available in art supply stores Stretched on a stretcher frame (approximately 1.8 cm thick).

I am increasingly using more environmentally friendly paints and materials.

I frame, prime, and undercoat many of my works myself, including this one. I skip the intermediate step of sanding the canvases, which means the painting is virtually impossible to forge, as the tiny, subtle ridges of the canvas's texture cannot be replicated. For me, these ridges represent an artistic fingerprint! In everyday viewing of the painting, these small bumps are not noticeable.
