Art Description

A painting from a fossil. Since fossils are not the real bones of the dead animal, but more like 3d prints of the bones formed by random mineral substances present in the environment of the corpse that substituted the bones themselves, by definition any substance could become a fossil, so in this way even a painting like this is by those standards by all means a real fossil: there should be no difference between image and trace
