'Harmat' was born from a single moment in an ancient woodland — a piece of bark, naturally shed, noticed where most would walk past. Collected, cleaned, and finished entirely by hand. Only one exists. It is impossible to recreate.
Harmat — dew, in Hungarian. That quiet, fleeting moment when water rests on a surface before the day begins.
Found at Tyntesfield, a National Trust estate in North Somerset, this piece of Crimean pine bark arrived already holding the shape of something living. The botanical forms painted across it — gold leaf, acrylic, geometric floral marks — follow the contours the bark itself suggested. Nothing was forced. The bark led; the painting followed.
It sits on a shelf, a desk, a windowsill. It leans forward slightly — present, unhurried. People pick it up. They always ask about it.

What makes this piece yours
One of a kind: Nature made this once. No artist — including me — could make it again.
Conversation piece: It sits in your space and draws people in — a Hungarian word, a woodland in Somerset, a moment of stillness painted in gold.
Found form: The botanical shapes follow the contours the bark itself suggested. The painting follows what was already there.
Each piece arrives in a hand-painted jewellery box with a hand-drawn ACEO illustration from the artist, a note on the bark's origin and the hand-painting process, and a Certificate of Authenticity. Each work in the Bark & Grain collection carries one name. One piece. Retired when sold.
