Eternal Gardenerl by Rob Rek  - is an exquisite example of the photo realistic style with which the artist’s name has become synonymous.
 
This work is set against a dramatically Simplistic ultra white background.  This evocative narrative painting examines the importance of our pollinators, suggesting life as we know it will face a grave future. 
The artists hyperrealist style captures the still beauty of the insect, and showcases   Rek’s ability to recreate remarkably fine details with his signature deep and mystical eyes in this multifaceted artwork.
 
The artwork is a modern adaptation of the ancient Dutch Vanitas style, which invites the viewer to consider their mortality and questions the significance of placing value on worldly objects.
