About Scent of Smoke II

Clara Lundgren’s ”Scent of Smoke II” presents a mesmerizing owls in smoke painting. A dark background lies almost completely hidden beneath swirling white smoke.

Strikingly, owls emerge through the translucent smoke tendrils. They fly towards the viewer, creating a dynamic and otherworldly presence. Their wings cut through the white wisps, suggesting both emergence and disappearance.

This owls in smoke painting captures a profound sense of movement. The birds seem to materialize from the smoke itself. Consequently, they create an unsettling, almost confrontational atmosphere.

Lundgren invites contemplation on liminal spaces. Her artwork blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. Here, natural forms dissolve and reshape themselves continuously.
