Original Watercolour Paintings from the series: “Opening Ceremony”.

This exclusive set of twelve original watercolour paintings is part of the Opening Ceremony series—a larger body of work that explores the delicate beauty of Venus Clam Shells through various mediums, including oil paintings and mixed-media pieces. The Opening Ceremony series transforms the ephemeral elegance of seashells into contemporary art, highlighting their intricate patterns, organic symmetry, and the quiet grandeur of oceanic treasures.

Each painting in this set is inspired by 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 collection embodies the interplay between structure and spontaneity. Every brushstroke captures the movement and delicate textures of the Venus Clam Shell, with serene washes and refined details inviting contemplation. Together, these twelve paintings form a cohesive visual narrative, bridging the raw beauty of marine life with modern minimalism.
