Original artwork description
This painting is part of my Water Mountains series, where abstract landscapes take shape through the quiet interaction between solidity and flow. The surface is shaped by soft, layered forms that suggest waves, ridges, and evolving terrain — somewhere between mountain and current — as if water and earth were slowly exchanging identities. The scene is not fixed, but held in a continuous state of gentle transition.
Muted greys, deep blacks, and luminous whites move across the canvas in subtle shifts, creating a sense of motion that feels steady and contained rather than dramatic. The textured ground adds depth and atmosphere, allowing light to surface unevenly and change with perspective, much like a natural landscape that reveals itself differently over time and distance.
For me, this work speaks to a quiet kind of resilience. It reflects endurance shaped through patience, repetition, and time rather than force. Water does not confront the mountain directly — it returns, listens, and gradually reshapes it. In that sense, the painting also reads as an inner landscape, where stillness and movement coexist and transformation happens slowly, almost imperceptibly.
