Protective image - Nature conservation "White Helleborine - Cephalanthera damasonium (85 x 65 cm)

Acrylic

85 x 65 cm

The White Helleborine is one of two Helleborine species in the Danube-Auen National Park and was created as a conservation image for the species as part of the project "The Orchids of the Danube-Auen National Park", which comprises a total of 26 painted orchid images and on which I worked from autumn 2020 to autumn 2023.

Cephalanthera damasonium was created in 2021 as one of only two paintings with a diamond-shaped abstract background. The diamond-shaped background, rendered in reddish-violet, reddish, orange, and yellow hues, is a distinctive feature that has since become a recurring element in my painting style. The orchid blossoms shine in white and appear very elegant against the colorful background. An unusual painting style—the starting point for an artist to further reinvent herself and her painting.

My painted works are all unique pieces, making them ideal for art lovers and art collectors.

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

The artwork measures 85 cm in height (length) and 65 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.
