Original SOLD. This painting portrays a close-up of a white water lily in full bloom. The painting captures the intricate details of the flower's petals, which radiate outwards in layers and have a delicate, velvety texture. The petals are predominantly white with subtle hints of purple and yellow reflecting the light and adding depth. At the center of the flower, the vibrant, golden-yellow stamens and reddish pistils stand in contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the heart of the blossom.
The background is abstract and features dark, rich tones with hints of brown, green, and black, which set a dramatic contrast with the luminous white of the lily. This background seems to mimic the natural environment of the water lily, suggesting the surface of a pond. The use of shadows and contrasting colors enhances the three-dimensional effect, making the flower seem to emerge from the darkness.
The overall impression of the painting is one of tranquility and natural beauty, emphasizing the elegant form of the water lily and its delicate details. The artist has skillfully balanced realism with artistic interpretation to convey both the flower's physical qualities and its ethereal presence.
