A placid place, 2025
Oil sticks on Paper
24 x 18 inches
 
This work presents a luminous passage through nature, where water, plants, and light converge into a quiet journey forward. A radiant sun opens the space, guiding the eye along a central path that moves between reflective water and dense vegetation. Lily pads float like stepping stones, suggesting balance, patience, and trust in the natural rhythm of life. The layered colors and rhythmic lines create a sense of movement and calm at once. Made with oil sticks on paper, the tactile surface emphasizes human touch, reinforcing nature as a universal language of hope, serenity, and inner freedom.
