Serpentis Hortus Pyrography

This exquisite piece of pyrography, aptly named ‘Serpentis Hortus’, showcases the intricate art of wood burning to create a captivating image of a serpent entwined within a lush garden. The artwork is masterfully etched onto a cross-section of wood, with the natural rings and texture of the timber adding depth and character to the composition. The serpent’s scales are rendered with meticulous detail, giving them a tactile quality that contrasts beautifully against the softer textures of the surrounding foliage and florals. Each leaf, petal, and stem is carefully shaded to capture the play of light and shadow, creating an almost three-dimensional effect. The choice of subject matter—a serpent in a garden—evokes themes of nature’s duality: beauty and danger coexisting in harmony. This piece is not only an impressive display of technical skill but also an evocative work that invites contemplation on the complexities within nature.

Burned on a 9.5x11.5 inch premium basswood wood slice, then sealed with polyurethane to protect the artwork. Please keep out of direct sunlight.
