This original artwork depicts a network of mutualistic relationships centered around an oak branch, connecting a red squirrel, a Eurasian jay, and a red deer.
The oak provides acorns that serve as a vital food source for all three animals. In return, both the squirrel and the jay contribute to seed dispersal by caching acorns, many of which are never retrieved and can grow into new trees. The deer shapes the surrounding woodland through browsing and movement, influencing forest structure and regeneration.
The branch itself becomes a meeting point, illustrating how mutualism can extend across multiple species and trophic levels. Rather than a single interaction, the scene represents a shared ecological system built on reciprocity, balance, and coexistence.
Medium: Watercolour on Hahnemühle paper, 300 g/m², a high-quality artist paper.
Size: 24 × 32 cm.
The painting is sold unframed, allowing you to choose a frame that best suits your space.
The artwork is hand-signed on the front and is accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Please note that colours may vary slightly due to different screen settings.
