People of all ages are attracted to the ocean, and love walking along the beach looking for seashells. Seashell prints remind viewers of the soothing sounds of crashing waves, warm sand, and ocean sunsets. For the artist, seashells have beautiful textures and an infinite variety of shapes to capture in photographs or on canvas. It is no wonder that
conch prints enjoy so much popularity, and are seen so often in homes and offices.
Conch art is a particular type of seashell art, focused on a shelled ocean creature called the conch. Of all the shells found on beaches, the conch may be the most beautiful, with its spiral shape, speckled color, and iridescent interior. Each conch is completely unique, allowing for an unlimited number of artistic variations.
The conch is the subject of countless drawings, paintings, and photographs, and for good reason. Its minute details appeal to pen and ink and pencil artists, while its mix of varied textures and shine appeal to the painter and photographer. The fluted edges and mysterious interior of this shell draw the eyes of the viewer. It is said that placing a conch up to your ear lets you hear the ocean-- maybe this is part of its attractiveness.
Conch wall art is commonly found in bathrooms because of its relationship with water, but it should not be limited to just one room of the home. The neutral color scheme of most conch posters makes it able to fit in almost any room, and with almost any style of decor. It holds a constant reminder of relaxing trips to the beach, and is a soothing addition to any wall.
