Cicada
This petite original celebrates the life cycle of cicadas. At first glance, the painting reveals a forest where leaves twinkle and the wind rustles the foliage. The palette of cyans and yellows creates a blend of surreal and realistic effects. For the artist, early summer marks cicada season, a time filled with the sounds of the forest. This painting pays homage to the enchanting electric sound emitted by these remarkable creatures, some of which feed on sap for 2–17 years before emerging from underground. The shrill buzzing, produced by vibrating drum-like plates on their abdomens, is unforgettable—a profound natural symphony.
