spiral shell art

This was a commission for an apartment. My friend wanted something in grey and white, not too dark, large in size, to go above the bed.

I worked on this for a while to get it right and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. Up close it has quite a bit of texture, but on this piece I only used acrylic paint, no added paper as I do for some of my art.

Here are some pics of the work in progress. You can see it changed quite a lot as I worked on it to achieve the look she wanted, starting with blocking in the basic shapes, then layering from dark to light.

Its a large piece as I mentioned, about 90cm square. On recycled canvas.

  1. Oh! Wow! I DO like this, verymuch. Well done, Zefi.❤️❤️
    I would love to pass this post on to Andre. (He is doing his 3rd year at the NAS in Sydney.). I’m sure he would be interested in what you have done here.
    Hope you have more commissions coming your way. 💕💕💕

      • I like most of, if not all of, your works so at times it seems unnecessary to go on too much about each piece dependent upon where you are in a particular “vein”
        You also can be a woman of few words; a tendency I have previously commented upon Short story: love the art love the artist….so there!!
