Detailed description
Picture "Mimicry 2 - pond frog" (2020)
The image presents the art of mimicry, demonstrated by a pond frog. Amidst a jumble of aquatic plants, algae and pond reflections, the frog blends almost perfectly with its surroundings. Its green body, dotted with small darker spots, blends seamlessly into the color palette of the pond. Only a closer look reveals the frog's sharply outlined eyes, attentive and alert to their surroundings. This painting celebrates the ability of some animals to camouflage themselves through their coloration and form, reminding the viewer that there is often more to nature than meets the eye. The image is painted in oil, dated and signed.
