About This Work

An intimate exploration of the lotus flower's delicate form and spiritual significance. This piece captures the essence of the lotus as it emerges from the water, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. The soft brushstrokes and harmonious color palette create a sense of tranquility and contemplation.

Technique & Process

Traditional oil painting with emphasis on color harmony and subtle brushwork. Multiple layers of glazing create depth and luminosity, while careful attention to light and shadow brings the flower to life. The artist worked wet-on-wet in some areas while allowing other sections to dry completely.

Inspiration & Context

Inspired by the lotus flower's journey from mud to beauty, representing spiritual enlightenment and the human capacity for transformation. The artist was particularly moved by the flower's ability to remain pure despite growing in muddy waters, symbolizing resilience and inner beauty.
