A quiet root reaching deep into calm waters, this gouache and pastel piece reflects renewal and peace. Inspired by the ocean’s strength and stillness, the work explores water as a metaphor for cleansing and transformation. Branches and leaves symbolize resilience—rooted, nourished, and alive amid both calm and storm.
About the Artwork
This painting is part of my ongoing exploration of nature as a mirror for the inner life. Layered gouache and soft pastel create gentle movement and subtle luminosity, echoing the ebb and flow of water and light. The composition invites viewers into a moment of stillness—a reminder that growth often begins in quiet, unseen places.
