Waterlilies 2 (Lily Pad Symphony)

This work suspends a constellation of rounded forms—like lily pads or river stones—within a field of scraped pigment and vertical drips, where the surface feels both eroded and luminous. Cool violets, teals, and deep blues pool in layered clusters, while abrupt flashes of ochre and ember-like reds flicker at the edges, suggesting heat pressing against water’s calm. The composition drifts between flotation and weight, as if memory itself were sedimenting: soft, tactile islands held in tension by the restless, weathered atmosphere around them. In that oscillation, the painting becomes a meditation on resilience—quiet bodies of color enduring the streaking passage of time.
