There’s something about that first glimpse of blue through a tangle of leaves — the way light filters in, the way your eye catches a shape before your mind fully names it. Peeking Through captures that quiet, in-between moment.
At the center, a fatsia leaf emerges from a softened field of golden greens, as if sunlight has gently parted the foliage just long enough for you to notice. Hand-applied gold detailing traces the contours, creating a subtle shimmer that shifts as the light changes — like nature revealing a secret only when you pause long enough to see it.
Created using the historic cyanotype process, this piece carries the depth and richness of true Prussian blue, layered with painterly washes and botanical forms. The interplay of organic shapes and metallic linework feels both grounded and ethereal — a reminder that beauty often lives just beneath the surface.
For collectors who love:
Nature-inspired abstract work
Blue tones that calm and anchor a space
Meaningful pieces with a sense of story
