"Substratafolia forestalis" vividly captures the dynamic decay of the rainforest floor. Earthy hues—deep maroons, muted purples, and rich browns—mirror the natural decomposition process, diving into the intricate dance of fungi, insects, and decomposing organic matter. Bursts of warm tones in the composition's center evoke the frenetic activity of decomposers, while cooler shades of blue and deep violet encircle this vibrant core, suggesting the moist, shadow-draped undergrowth. This painting is raw, echoing the coarseness of rotting wood and the spongy textures of bark, mosses, lichens, and fungi.
