Posting old art so this profile doesn’t feel so naked, don’t mind me
(Watercolor on Arches, 2021)

A square array of Polymita picta snails. They present colours from white, beige, orange, yellow and red, to nearly totally black. Many bear bands following the spirals which can be white, black and white or complex mixtures thereof.

Often referred to as the world's most beautiful snail, Polymita picta is a variable species presenting a vast array of colours and patterns. They are now protected in their native Cuba to prevent overcollecting as craft material.
