Fungal Alchemy Art Series

Project type

Abstract Painting

Date

2019 - Ongoing

Location

Calgary, Alberta, CANADA

Fungal Alchemy is a series of abstract organic art that explores the interplay between decay, preservation, and beauty. Each piece fuses 24K gold with natural mushroom burrs—meticulously preserved over a month-long process developed exclusively by the artist. These preserved forms, once fleeting moments in the forest floor’s quiet life, are transformed into enduring sculptural textures.

In this series, gold is not used as a symbol of wealth alone, but as a metaphor for reverence—an honoring of the organic, the imperfect, the ephemeral. The mushrooms, once soft and temporal, become eternal in form, capturing the poetry of nature’s cycles: growth, decay, and transformation.

Blending fine art with natural alchemy, Fungal Alchemy invites viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between the natural and the refined, the transient and the eternal.
