Original artwork description:

"Nightshade Vigil" evokes a haunting stillness, where enigmatic plants stand sentinel in the moonlit darkness. The title hints at an eerie watchfulness, as if these strange, night-blooming flora are guarding a secret, their silhouettes sharp against the night. Shadows dance across their twisted forms, shrouding them in mystery, while the subtle play of light and dark suggests both concealment and revelation. The deep, shadowy hues and soft glow of the moon invite a sense of quiet tension, as though the night itself holds its breath, watching over what lies hidden in the depths of the nightshade's vigil.

Materials used:

Oil paint on canvas
