Mysterious Dimensions of Nature


By Salvador Velasco

There is much to entice in the image presented to you. For example, there are objects that are being held together by the textured block of shading in acetate paper. One of these objects has a classic image of a shell, while there are shadows in the background of layered branches. This haunted feeling was created by exposure of the sun. The 'spinal cord' branch with fringed leaves, along with the other branch, create the mysterious quality of entering a forest. I always like a good mystery as well as a bit of nature. The texture of the artwork is not smooth but not exactly rough. It's more of a soft canvas with the illusion of different dimensions. The colors create dimensions because of the brightness or lack of brightness. The spinal cord branch appears to be the overpowering object, and the background branch and it appear that way because of the lack of light. Nature can sometimes be inexplicable, and often we humans are baffled by how it works.
