Xanthoria

This artwork centres on a vivid photograph of Xanthoria parietina, commonly known as Common Orange Lichen, meticulously framed by an array of abstract geometric forms. The lichen’s foliose, bright yellow-orange patches with lobed edges spread across a rugged rock surface, revealing the intricate texture and natural patterns of this symbiotic organism. Surrounding the central image are organic shapes in muted green, bold blue, and gentle violet, set against a pale yellow backdrop, invoking a sense of balance between the natural world and abstract modernity. The composition invites contemplation of nature’s quiet complexity and its artistic resonance within a minimalist context.
