The artwork titled “Ammonite” was created by Jacek Yerka in 1989 in Poland. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is a symbolic painting.
The artwork presents a fantastical and surreal landscape where a massive, spiraling rock formation resembling an ammonite fossil dominates the scene. The rock formation, intricately detailed with elements suggestive of architectural structures, emerges from a serene body of water. The spiral winds inward, creating a mesmerizing sense of depth and continuity. The surroundings include cliff-like edges and patches of greenery, adding to the surreal atmosphere. The sky above is tinged with soft shades of yellow and pink, complementing the otherworldly and dreamlike quality of the composition.
