Artist Statement


“Tranquillity is inspired by nature's organic forms, textures, shadows, and movement. With meticulous layering of paint and texture, the artwork creates a mesmerising interplay of colours and a tactile, three-dimensional experience. Shadows dance delicately on the surface, enhancing its ethereal quality. The piece invites viewers to explore the hidden depths and subtle nuances, evoking a sense of mystery and connection to the natural world. "Tranquility” is a transcendent journey into the beauty and complexity of existence, where viewers can contemplate the artist's profound fascination with the essence of nature.”
