Of Wings and Water

A hauntingly serene dreamscape awash in deep blues and shadowy textures. The central figure, a regal woman with a composed, introspective gaze, appears as both protector and prisoner of her surreal aquatic realm. Her turban-like headwrap evokes ancient wisdom, while her delicate hands cradle a spectral bird—symbol of fleeting peace. Surrounding her are ghostly, submerged figures, half-emerged from watery oblivion, suggesting memory, loss, or the unconscious mind. The interplay of marine motifs and expressive linework creates a fluid tension between stillness and movement, life and memory. This is a painting that invites prolonged contemplation, evoking the quiet power of hidden emotions and the poetry of inner worlds.
