Yellow madre-of-pearl

Mixed media “Yellow Madre-of-Pearl” – shells with pearlescent glow, oil and silver leaf on canvas, luxury Australian art for interiors.

Yellow madre-of-pearl

Yellow Mother-of-Pearl is a luminous, tactile work that commands attention while remaining delicately refined. Featuring shells formed with sculptural texture and covered in silver leaf, the surface is layered with oil paint, creating a rich dialogue between material, light, and form. The artwork’s reflective silver leaf gives it an interactive quality: as the viewer moves, the surface shifts and mirrors its surroundings, making the piece constantly change and almost impossible to capture in a single photograph. Despite this dynamic presence, the colour palette remains soft and restrained, built around gentle yellow tones that bring warmth and quiet elegance to the composition.
