This artwork on handmade paper, by artist Sarita Arte, celebrates the organic qualities of Betula Papyrifera (paper birch). This species of birch, found only in North America, is unique for its bark which peels off in many layers revealing an impressive range of shades. The vivid patterns of the lenticels and the richness of the color hues make it the ideal living medium for unique compositions that pay homage to the hidden details of nature. Unique piece, sold unframed.

“It was in the enveloping environment of the forest, where the dance of fog replaces the movement of traffic, that I began to take an interest in birch, first as a simple support then as a sculptural potential, then today as a color palette, thanks to the unsuspected discovery of the chromatic properties of the surface layer of the tree.” Sarita Arte
