The Jewel Box by Rob Rek  - is an exquisite example of the photo realistic style with which the artist’s name has become synonymous.
 
This piece is set against a dramatically simplistic ultra white background focusing attention exclusively on each subject - An arrestingly lifelike set of three Gouldian Finches. 
 
The artists hyperrealist style captures the minute details of in minature scale.
 
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. 
 
 
 
** this artwork is framed in a custom made black float frame finished in matt paint.
