Original artwork description:

This circular artwork is a vibrant and textured exploration of aquatic hues. Horizontal bands of color dominate the composition, creating a layered effect reminiscent of the varying depths and movements of the ocean.

The color palette is rich and diverse, featuring a spectrum of blues – from deep indigo and navy to lighter cerulean and turquoise. These blues are interspersed with bands of green, ranging from emerald to seafoam, further enhancing the oceanic theme. Adding visual interest and a touch of luxury are irregular strips and flecks of gold leaf that shimmer across the surface suggesting sunlight reflecting on the water or hidden treasures beneath.

The texture of the artwork is quite varied. Some bands are smooth and blended, while others exhibit a more rugged, layered quality, achieved through the use of different papers. This tactile dimension adds depth and complexity to the piece, inviting closer inspection.

Overall, the artwork evokes a feeling of tranquility and the mesmerizing beauty of the sea, with its interplay of color, texture, and the subtle sparkle of gold.
