In an Instant It was Gone

In An Instant It Was Gone is a small original botanical painting by Australian artist Ros Gervay, created in acrylic on wood panel and box framed in raw oak.

There’s a quiet, grounding softness to this piece. Layered botanical forms move gently across the surface in soft greens, creamy whites and subtle earthy undertones, creating a beautiful balance between movement and stillness. It feels calm and considered, yet full of those small, intuitive details that invite you to come closer - a softened edge, a mark half-revealed, a quiet layer sitting just beneath the surface.

This original painting speaks to the beauty of fleeting moments. It holds the feeling of something glimpsed briefly and then gone - a brushmark, a shape, a shift in colour - leaving behind only its trace. Built through layers of responding, covering, revealing and softening, the work carries a gentle sense of depth and discovery, making it richer than anything that could have been fully planned from the beginning.

At 33cm(W) x 48cm(H), In An Instant It Was Gone is a lovely smaller-scale original artwork for a considered corner of the home. It would sit beautifully above a bedside table, on a gallery wall, in an entryway, hallway, reading nook or above a console where its quiet detail can be appreciated up close. Its natural raw oak frame gives the piece warmth and makes it easy to style within calm, organic and softly layered interiors.

Created in acrylic on wood panel, this piece is box framed in raw oak, giving it a refined, contemporary finish while keeping the natural warmth of the materials present. The combination of botanical softness, layered colour and raw timber framing makes it a beautiful choice for someone who loves original artwork with both subtlety and emotional depth.

This is a one-of-a-kind original painting for someone who wants their home to feel calm, joyful, considered and alive.
