Starfishes have always been a favorite marine animal by many. In fact, it is hard to argue that it is indeed one of the most popular marine animals as of the moment because of pop culture and its artistic significance. The many pieces of
framed starfish art try to capture the natural beauty of this aquatic animal.
In N. Harbick’s Natural Shell I – mini, the intricate details of a starfish’s anatomy is accurately displayed. Harbick paints a close-up of a starfish in a plain but effective color combination of white and light brown in a dark brown background. The
framed starfish art piece is simple but sophisticated enough to display in high-class coffee shops and in different art rooms.
The natural beauty of starfishes is accurately displayed in Danhui Nai’s Shades of Blue II, Alyssa Watters’ Starfish I, and Lori Shory’s Starfish and Coral. The said pieces involve realistically drawn starfish in a blue background with the last two pieces including a second starfish and a coral respectively. The pieces are also quite similar because the color of the starfish in the three framed starfish artwork are all yellow and brown.
With a simplistic but very effective art take, Alan Blaustein photographs a few starfishes in his II Oceano No. 2 and post-processes the image to show a lot of whites and highlights. This in turn leads to the starfishes seemingly radiating brilliance and elegance. Blaustein’s wise color combination and clever lighting used further enhance the image’s sophistication.
