Departure of the Forest by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

50.0 x 70.0 cm

Title: Departure of the Forest Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson Medium: Mixed media — acrylic on canvas, spray paint, real pine cones and natural wood elements Dimensions: 70 × 50 cm Signed and varnished Departure of the Forest blends painted atmosphere with real natural materials, creating a tactile dialogue between the canvas and the living world. Soft layers of acrylic and spray paint form an ethereal, misty landscape, while authentic pine cones and wood shavings emerge from the surface, grounding the work in the physical reality of the forest. In this surreal scene, the trees appear to rise together as if preparing for departure—lifting away like a silent vessel leaving the planet behind. The work reflects on ecological fragility and the unsettling idea that one day nature itself may choose to escape the damage inflicted upon it. Part of the Climate Change Collection, this piece invites viewers to imagine a future shaped by environmental loss and the possibility of nature’s exodus. A unique, textured artwork with a strong sculptural presence, fully signed and varnished for preservation.
