“Time of Mushrooms” is a surreal landscape artwork created in 2011 by Jacek Yerka in Poland. Using colored pencils as his medium, Yerka conveys a fantastical scene that is both imaginative and thought-provoking, aligning with the art movement of Surrealism.
The artwork depicts an otherworldly forest of towering mushrooms. These mushrooms have vibrant red caps adorned with white spots, and their elongated stems cascade down like melting wax or mystical tree trunks. The stems appear to glow with warm hues of orange and yellows, which radiates a sense of ethereal light, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere. The forest floor is scattered with smaller mushrooms and stones, all blanketed in a rich, green environment that supports the surreal nature of the scene. The sky above blends seamlessly into the background, enhancing the enchanting essence of the landscape.
