"Under the Sea"

A woman’s profile drifts through an oceanic dreamscape, where sea life sways around her in waves of luminous blues, gold, and iridescent shimmer. The fluid layers of spray paint and acrylics mirror the movement of water, while expressive mark-making creates an organic, rhythmic pulse. As I painted, I felt submerged in a meditative flow—each brushstroke like a ripple, each gold highlight a flicker of sunlight breaking through the depths, evoking a sense of serenity and boundless exploration.
