A cobra folds into a clear loop, its body divided into bands of dots and fine stipples that alternate like fabric panels. The open background keeps the figure weightless while the curves guide the eye along a smooth path from tail to head. The shapes are decisive and the palette is limited, which makes the snake read immediately from across the room and feel refined up close.
I developed this piece to explore how much character a snake can hold with only a few strong decisions. Instead of focusing on realism, I emphasized pattern and flow so the temperament feels calm and intelligent. The dotted sections add sparkle without noise, and the gentle greens sit comfortably with modern interiors.
The atmosphere is modern, balanced, and quietly confident. It works beautifully above consoles, in hallways, and in creative offices that want a single focal point with graphic presence. Digital ink, watercolor layers, and scanned paper texture maintain crisp edges and a tactile finish at large scale, delivering a premium contemporary folk print.
