Seasons 137 (Waterlily Pond)

This painting turns a pond into a dense, breathing tapestry where thick, urgent strokes of emerald and teal press against flashes of coral bloom, as if life is continuously surfacing and submerging. The surface is built from layered impasto—lily pads and petals fractured into rhythmic planes—so that light feels less like illumination than like movement skimming across water. Tall reeds slice upward at the edges, acting as visual sentinels that frame the scene and quietly insist on depth beyond the immediate, shimmering abundance. Beneath its luxuriant color lies a meditation on fragile balance: a world of growth held together by currents we cannot see, poised between stillness and incessant change.
