Opening Ceremony 7 on 11.7” x 16.5”
Original Watercolour Painting from the series: “Opening Ceremony”.
Opening Ceremony #7 is part of the Opening Ceremony series, a collection of watercolour paintings inspired by the delicate beauty of Venus Clam Shells. This series transforms the ephemeral elegance of seashells into contemporary art, highlighting their intricate patterns, organic symmetry, and the quiet grandeur of oceanic treasures.
Inspired by the Venus Clam Shells collected off Trinity Beach, Far North Queensland, Australia, these shells only open up during a full-moon event, revealing exquisite internal patterns. This rare occurrence has been delicately captured in watercolour, preserving the magic and mystery of nature's hidden designs.
Hand-painted on 100% cotton, hot-pressed fine art paper (300gsm/140 lbs), this piece embodies the interplay between structure and spontaneity, where each brushstroke captures the movement and delicate texture of the Venus Clam Shell. The serene washes and refined details invite contemplation, bridging the raw beauty of marine life with modern minimalism.
