Original artwork description:

“When Water Becomes the Sky” is a soft, airy watercolor in which the landscape seems to dissolve into the light of the evening. On a small, quiet bay stands a delicate wooden pier, stretching out over the calm surface of the water. A boat is gently moored at its edge.
The hour of sunset paints the sky in tender hues of lavender, pink, and pale blue—each shade flowing seamlessly into the next, as if breathed onto the paper.
The water is even lighter than the sky; its surface is perfectly still, almost mirror-like. It reflects everything—the clouds, the pastel glow, the slender lines of the pier, and the dark, peaceful silhouette of the boat. Because of this clarity, the boundary between water and sky seems to vanish, as though the world is divided not by a horizon, but by transparency.
The entire piece is rendered in soft, clean pastel tones: lavender shadows, warm pink highlights, and translucent washes of blue. Despite its gentleness, the painting is filled with light—bright, uplifting, and pure. It conveys a sense of calm, silence, and that fleeting moment when evening has almost arrived but the day still holds onto its colors.
This watercolor is about stillness, reflection, and the delicate merging of elements—a moment when water truly becomes the sky.
