Original artwork description:

While creating this painting, I aimed to capture a quiet moment in nature—where forest, rock, and water seem to listen to one another. A small white bird skimming the surface becomes the only rhythmic accent in the scene. I wanted viewers to feel their thoughts gently dissolve within this blue-green space, entering a silent yet profound conversation.
I built the textures of water and forest through layered brushstrokes, allowing visible marks to give the painting a sense of breath. In color, I focused on blues and greens with touches of light yellow, using subtle temperature shifts to define spatial depth. The reflections were handled with softer, horizontal strokes, allowing reality and mirror image to merge naturally.
