Waterlilies (2025)Oil painting by Marco Ortolan

This oil painting on canvas transports the viewer to a serene water lily pond. The vibrant composition, full of life, captures the interplay of light, color, and texture.

Water fills most of the canvas, painted with a rich palette of blues and greens. Loose, visible brushstrokes create dynamic reflections and subtle surface movement. Large lily pads float on the water, guiding the eye.

At the heart of the composition, a delicate white and pink water lily emerges, its petals painted with light to create volume. This flower is the focal point, a symbol of purity contrasting with the vibrant surroundings.

The artwork uses impasto to give texture to the leaves, while more fluid brushstrokes handle the water. The piece conveys a sense of calm, freshness, and contemplation, inviting one to immerse themselves in nature's quiet beauty.
