“Bracken of Dartmoor” with 24 carat gold

This original framed artwork is a tribute to Dartmoor’s untamed beauty, capturing the iconic form of bracken in mixed media, including 24-carat gold.
 
Bracken is deeply woven into Dartmoor’s landscape, its shifting tones mark the changing seasons, covering the moor in golden hues before retreating into earthy browns and copper. Set against a deep blue-green backdrop, the intricate gold details catch the light, beautifully reflecting the richness and texture of the moorland.
 
Select areas of metal gilding have been intentionally left unsealed, allowing the piece to evolve with a natural antique patina over many years. The hand-painted background, with its visible brush marks, mirrors the ever-changing light of the moor.
 
Framed in a sleek, modern design, this piece balances the raw, rugged beauty of Dartmoor with contemporary elegance. The use of 24-carat gold, a key trend in modern interiors, adds a touch of understated luxury, making it a sophisticated statement for any space.
