Amanita

$750.00

This small, focused watercolour, "Amanita," celebrates the essential, often hidden life force of the forest floor. It is a tribute to the raw, untamed parts of the ecosystem that thrive outside of human control. The central Amanita mushroom, with its iconic red-and-white cap, represents more than natural beauty; it holds a history of untamed, fierce power. Historically, this very fungus has been linked to the Norse Berserkers, legendary warriors who were said to have consumed it to enter a frenzy of ecstatic, fearless rage before battle. This piece encourages you to honour the invisible networks and the quiet, potent cycles of growth, death, and rebirth that govern the truly untamed world, while channelling the primal, untamed strength symbolised by this ancient, potent fungus.
