Further information

30 x 43 cm

The painting “Seahorse I” by artist Lorena impressively depicts a female seahorse, rendered in shades of gray. This work is part of a duo with “Seahorse II,” which portrays its male counterpart. Both pieces engage in a symbolic dialogue, representing the theme of duality and harmony in nature.

“Seahorse I” captures the delicate structure of the animal, painted in muted gray and soft yellow tones. The colors give the seahorse an almost fossil-like appearance, as if it were an ancient creature embedded in stone, telling stories from long-forgotten times. The seahorse’s profile is detailed and precise, highlighting the fine contours and intricate textures of its skin.

The background is rendered in cool gray tones, giving the seahorse a floating, ethereal presence. The restrained colors and subtle hues emphasize the grace and fragility of the creature, creating a mystical atmosphere. It seems as though the seahorse is suspended between reality and the past, imparting a deep, almost meditative calm to the piece.

Through the choice of a subdued color palette and the fossil-like portrayal, Lorena creates a work that not only depicts a seahorse but also reflects on the transience of life and the timeless beauty of nature. “Seahorse I” invites the viewer to pause and connect with the quiet and delicate essence of the natural world.
