Crab’s Bouquet an Oil Painting by Christian Hammer

In ‘Crab’s Bouquet’, the artist Christian Hammer invites us to take a magical journey beneath the waves, where a crab swims gracefully through the water, reaching for a bouquet of flowers. The crab is rendered in exquisite detail, its shell glistening in the light.

The surface of the water is alive with movement, rippling and shimmering as if it were alive.

As we watch the crab, we can’t help but feel a sense of wonder at the hidden world beneath the surface of the water. The artist’s use of color and light creates a dream-like quality, transporting us to a place where anything is possible.

In this alternate reality, even a crab can grasp a bouquet of flowers, as if it were a water nymph reaching for a gift from the sea.

The artist believes that those who live and work in the Salish Sea region have a deep connection to the animals that call it home. The paintings have sparked conversations about the importance of preserving and protecting these creatures and their habitat.

For many, the paintings have evoked a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, and have served as a reminder of the intricate web of life that we are all a part of.
