Description:
What Remains, What Begins is a moving and cinematic acrylic painting that captures a moment suspended between innocence and experience, ending and renewal. Against a golden, glowing background, a young girl offers flowers to an older figure — a gesture full of tenderness yet wrapped in ambiguity.
Are these flowers the first blossoms of a healed world, a symbol of hope rising through the cracks?
Or are they the final flowers left after a world damaged by human selfishness, a fragile farewell to what once existed?
The viewer is invited to choose the narrative.
Through deep silhouettes, textured foliage, and rich contrasting tones, the artwork explores themes of environmental fragility, intergenerational connection, and the uncertain future of our planet.
Varnished and signed on both sides, this piece is ready to hang and perfect for collectors drawn to symbolic storytelling, atmospheric scenes, and art connected to nature’s fate.
