More about this artwork
The painting presents a simplistic and bold depiction of a seashell. Drawn in black and white, the image captures a nautilus shell, known for its beautiful, logarithmic spiral structure. The shell is portrayed with its opening facing the viewer, emphasized by dark, curving lines that suggest its deepening cavity. Fine striations cover the surface of the shell, creating a sense of texture and depth. The background is stark black, with several horizontal lines cutting across the upper portion, perhaps suggesting layers, horizon, or merely a stylistic element to frame the shell itself.
