An evocative exploration of nature, this drawing captures the intricacies of peeling birch bark. Each stroke of coloured pencil brings to life the textured surface of the bark, standing boldly against a black background. The work is a study of contrast, with rich detail showcasing the delicate strips of bark peeling away, revealing layers of whites, greys and subtle greens. The presence of lichens further enhances the complexity, while evoking a sense of tranquillity and admiration for the simple elegance of the birch.
