Waterlilies (2025)Oil painting by Marco Ortolan

This oil on canvas immerses the viewer in a serene pond with water lilies. Expressive, textured brushstrokes capture the deep greens of the water and vibrant floating leaves.

The central focus is a pristine white water lily with delicate petals and a bright yellow heart. This contrasts beautifully with the dark water and intense green lily pads. Light and color touches suggest reflections.

The palette is rich in green hues, from deep olive to bright, acidic tones, creating depth. Hints of gold and ochre, possibly submerged branches or light reflections, add detail.

Robust technique with impasto gives volume to leaves and flower, inviting tactile appreciation. The artwork conveys calm and vitality, capturing nature's fleeting beauty in a splendid moment. It's an invitation to contemplate this serene natural microcosm.
