ArtistExtreme and complete width, as wide and large as possible image, extra full and wide, 16:9, full image extending all the way to the edges, extremely large and wide, rectangular, full-screen, full frontal image surrounded by an elegant, very thin, slender frame of intricate guilloche patterns of unparalled detail and beauty. Inside the single, very thin, rectangular frame that fills the entire screen is an intricately patterned print showing a banknote motif from an imaginary series themed "European wildflowers." The image features a close-up of a large, old prickly pear cactus (opuntia ficus-indica) growing in stony soil in a hot, arid, sun-baked Southern Mediterranian country. The cacus has many fresh, new pads emerging from its older, oblong paddles (cladodes) covered in caredully arranged, long spines, each emerging from a group of smaller, hairy bristles (glochidia). The paddles and new plantlets are light green, the spines brown, and the glochidia silvery-white. The venerable prickly pear cactus also has numerous large, red, fleshy, spine-covered fruits in various stages of maturity. The cactus and the stony field on which it grows as well as azure sky are rendered in mesmerizingly repetitive, organic patterns of painstaking detail, as the image is an extremely detailed intaglio print composed of hundreds upon hundreds of lines and dots in few basic colors: Light green for the prickly pear cactus, with brown spines and shit-silver glochids, red for the fruit, azure for the sky, and shades of arid brown for the stony field. The stone pattern and colors repeat in the thin guilloche frame.
Fictional banknote design in the imaginary series "European wildflowers." It is summer, and prickly pear cactus (oppuntia ficus-indica) is blooming in a Southern Mediterranean landscape. The image The flower motif is framed by an ornate, intricate guilloche border.
