Original artwork description:

At first glance, this canvas invites you into a serene, hypnotic garden. The electric blues and velvety turquoises of the succulents create a labyrinth of cool tones, soothing the mind and drawing the eye inward. It feels like a suspension of time—a place where the rules of the surface don't apply.
​Vibrant tropical fish—a playful clownfish, a striped angel, and a flash of yellow—navigate this surreal blue foliage like wanderers in a dream. They are sparks of warmth and life against the cold, eternal beauty of the background.
​But the garden has a secret.
​Look closer, and the tranquility shifts into mystery. Hidden deep within the rosette of a flower, a single, piercing eye watches you. Is it the spirit of the garden? A guardian of secrets? Or a reflection of the subconscious looking back?
​This piece explores the thin line between the familiar and the fantastical. It challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface beauty and confront the unknown. It’s not just a painting; it’s a silent conversation between the observer and the observed.
