Waterlilies 3 (Water Lilies 3)

This painting conjures a nocturne of water and memory, where lily-pad forms drift like dispersed thoughts across a field of deep indigos and submerged violets. Veils of turquoise and inky vertical washes behave as both atmosphere and reflection, dissolving the boundary between surface and depth so that space feels breathed into rather than mapped. The scattered, luminous ovals—punctuated by sudden embers of orange—suggest brief awakenings of attention, as if the pond is recording small moments of presence within a larger, quiet continuum. Its beauty lies in this tension between softness and saturation: a meditation on how light persists, even when the world is largely shadowed.
