Piece description from the artist
The dragon arum (Calla palustris), also called swamp calla, swamp calla, snake root, snake herb, swamp snake root or pig's ear, is the only plant species of the genus Calla and the subfamily Calloideae within the family Araceae.
The calla flower and its yellow-green leaf are just beginning to unfold. The black background contrasts very strongly with the light colors and lets them shine intensely.
Soft pastels on Pastelmat.
Dietrich Moravec has been a selftaught artist for more than 4 decades. In the 1970s he began studying the techniques of the old masters. He experimented with egg tempera and oil painting, later on with acrylics in combination with oils or just acrylics. He dedicated himself to realism and photorealism. Other atistic techniques he used to work with are etching, drawings with graphite and charcoal, and scratchboard. His main subjects are still lifes with fruits or flowers, landscapes and sometimes animals. He made his living as an architectural draftsman and a teacher for arts and IT. Now he is retired and lives in a small town in Bavaria, Germany.
