The background of the painting, created in an abstract style, consists of a harmonious interplay of dark hues, predominantly black and gray. The absence of distinct forms or shapes in the background allows the viewer’s focus to be solely directed towards the commanding presence of the serpent. This intentional contrast between the vividly detailed viper and the enigmatic, ethereal background heightens the overall impact of the artwork.
The textured effect of the paint adds depth and dimension to the viper’s scales, capturing their rugged surface and enhancing the overall tactile quality of the composition. The interweaving patterns of brown and black further accentuate the sinuous movement of the viper as it coils upon itself, creating a sense of dynamism and energy.
The viewer is drawn into a world where the captivating beauty and inherent danger of the serpent are unveiled, inviting contemplation on the delicate balance between allure and menace.
