Plants in a Portal, Mushrooms
$1,618.00
"Mushrooms," by Ken Kammal, is a 20" x 16" acrylic painting that explores the mystique, transformation, and subtle power of fungi within the natural world. As part of the Plants in a Portal collection, this piece reflects on the hidden life beneath the surface—symbolizing renewal, interconnectedness, and the unseen forces that shape ecosystems and consciousness. Completed in 2024, the artwork invites viewers to contemplate nature’s quiet alchemy.
Framed in a 3-inch wide gold-painted wooden frame with a raised and rounded top edge, crafted from solid wood composition and coated with gesso for a flawless smooth finish, the frame enhances the painting’s mysterious allure.
