This vivid colour painting with bold bruswork and thick impasto textured layers stages the noble pen shell as more than a marine organism: it becomes an emblem of being itself. Pinna nobilis rises from the dark depths as a radiant core of color, echoing both organic growth and sacred icon.
Historically revered in Mediterranean culture, today it is endangered, transformed here into a luminous symbol of fragility and survival. This work belongs to a lineage of painting where abstraction touches the archetypal, giving the collector not only an image, but a testimony of ecological and cultural memory.

Painted on cotton canvas, this work comes with a pre-installed crocodile hanger on the back for easy and secure wall mounting.
The edges of the canvas are fully painted, allowing it to be displayed without a frame or placed into a floating frame.

It will be shipped flat in a sturdy, well-protected cardboard box, fully compliant with international art shipping standards to ensure its safe arrival.

This artwork is an original one-of-a-kind art piece painted on canvas made by mag. art. Vjeran Cengic and it comes with an author‘s certificate of authenticity.
