About the artwork

A picturesque vista opens among the dense, lush greenery of the jungle, like a natural gateway to a hidden paradise. The sun pierces through the dense canopy in soft rays, casting playful spots of light on the forest floor. The air is heavy with moisture and smells of earth, wet wood and the fresh aroma of green vegetation.

In front of you, a clear stream meanders quietly through the landscape. The water is crystal clear and shimmering as it ripples over small, rounded boulders and larger moss-covered boulders. The gentle sounds of the flowing water mingle with the lively murmur of the jungle: the rhythmic chirping of crickets, the distant cries of birds, and the occasional rustle of something making its way through the undergrowth.

On the banks, ferns abound, their finely branched leaves various shades of green. They grow in dense clusters among the roots of old trees, whose bark is rough and damp. The trunks are thick and vigorous, overgrown with patches of moss and tiny epiphytes. High above them tower elegant palm trees, their long fan-shaped leaves gently swaying in a barely perceptible breeze.

The vegetation is rich and varied: from low ground plants to shrubs with glossy leaves and here and there a burst of colour in the form of tropical flowers. Everything exudes a serene, timeless calm - a feeling as if this place has remained untouched since the beginning of time.

This vista is a small window into the soul of the jungle: peaceful, abundant, and mysterious at the same time. A place where you can stand still, breathe, and feel at one with the rhythm of nature.
