Coiled in Turquoise

A stylised chameleon rests on a branch surrounded by vivid autumn leaves in shades of burnt sienna and ochre. Its scales shift from deep turquoise and blue-green to soft, luminous aqua, with gold detailing that shimmers across the surface and catches the light. Set against a dark teal background, the warm foliage contrasts with the cool iridescence of the chameleon, creating a composition that feels both calm and alive with motion.

Finished with a gloss varnish that heightens the depth and clarity of the colours, this oil painting on gallery-grade canvas measures 70 × 180 centimetres and forms part of the Metamorphosis collection, an exploration of evolution, flow, and renewal through colour and form.
