Original artwork description:

Water Lilies in Midnight Blue – Mixed Media Art Series


A refined blend of Acrylic paints for depth, saturation, and bold contrasts

Pastel pencils for soft highlights, delicate textures, and fine contour details

The combination creates a dynamic surface where crisp acrylic layers meet velvety pastel strokes.

Concept

A contemporary interpretation of water lilies, captured not as static botanicals but as living, breathing forms within a shimmering midnight pond. The series explores movement, light, and the quiet poetry of water.

Color Palette

Midnight blue and deep ultramarine forming a rich, immersive background reminiscent of night water.

Sapphire and indigo accents adding fluid motion and depth.

Botanical Elements

Soft whites and pearl tones for the petals, giving a glowing, ethereal touch.

Blush pink, rose, and lavender adding delicate floral warmth.

Pistachio green, mint, and olive shaping the leaves with natural yet stylized energy.

Highlight & Contrast

Golden lines and warm ochre accents outline petals and leaves, creating an elegant stained-glass effect.

Touches of turquoise and teal bring vibrancy and rhythm to the composition.

The interplay of cool blues with warm gold produces a luxurious, luminous harmony.

Mood & Atmosphere

Calm yet vibrant — like a quiet night humming with hidden life.

Dreamlike and meditative, inviting viewers to slow down and breathe.

Elegant, modern, and slightly mystical, echoing a serene pond illuminated by moonlight.

The gold detailing adds a feeling of luxury and gentle optimism, while the fluid blues create a sense of peace and spaciousness.

The series centers on water lilies — symbols of renewal, clarity, and inner calm. Each artwork portrays them floating gracefully on shifting water, their forms abstracted yet recognizable, celebrating both nature and imagination.
