Original artwork description:

"Tides of Serenity" is an immersion in the **calm and movement** found at the edge of land and water . The painting’s currents of deep teal, soft aqua, gentle taupe, and gilded gold ebb and flow through light and shadow, conjuring the tranquil **energy** of ocean tides meeting shifting sands.

This work exists in the tension between stillness and transformation, much like tides themselves—ever-present yet always evolving. Each hue and texture is shaped by memory and sensation: cool blues evoke gentle surf and open sky, while warm highlights suggest sunlight breaking over water, grounding the viewer in a meditative state of **serenity**.

Built with a palette knife and impasto techniques, the varied textures echo the organic forms of waves, rocks, and shores. Gloss and metallic finishes catch the light from different angles, creating an interplay that mirrors the ever-changing quality of coastal landscapes.
