An original painting made with a pearl shell for stylish interiors

We love what is original, beautiful, and unique, and have been searching for such products for you for years. When handmade work becomes obsolete and mass-produced items flood the market, we try to go against the grain by offering high-quality pieces crafted by human hands. This is certainly the case with Anna Balicka's creations, who produces extraordinary works of art with a capital A.

Today we would like to present to you a picture made from several different materials. The graphic was created by combining various decorating techniques. From a simple stained glass technique, through relief (cast and wrought flat relief), as well as a gemstone setting technique similar to jewelry craftsmanship. All of this results in an unconventional and exceptionally original effect, which is hard to find among other artists.



The use of mother-of-pearl shell, britannia metal, ornamental glass, and a wooden frame are distinctive features of this subtle work. Its dimensions are 32.5 cm in width and 42.5 cm in height. Such a picture will certainly be a unique decoration for a living room or bedroom.
