"Full Moon Chiranthodendron" 18 x 24 Acrylic & Oil - $390.00

    This work pairs botanical precision with stark celestial surrealism, staging a nocturnal encounter between ancient terrestrial flora and an imposing lunar presence.

    The composition centers on the distinctive Chiranthodendron pentadactylon—the devil’s hand tree—whose claw-like stamens reach upward like grasping fingers tipped with gold. The blooms are rendered in vivid, textured carmine and rose, anchored by textured, bark-like branches and deep foliage against an unyielding cobalt expanse. Dominating the upper register, the full moon is executed with cratered, crater-ray detail, its cold luminescence cutting through the atmospheric blue. The juxtaposition frames the reaching blossoms not merely as passive growth, but as an active, primeval reaching toward an ancient cosmic sentinel.
