A parrotfish floats among pink and golden coral, enveloped by the soft light of the afternoon sun. Her scales shine like mother-of-pearl in the sunlight, while tiny bubbles play around her. An intimate portrait full of tranquillity, colour and poetry - the quiet heart of the Golden Reef series.
In the Golden Reef series, the ocean shows itself in its gentlest form. Dolphins, a humpback, fish and sea turtles move slowly through milky turquoise water, as if time stands still for a moment. Sunlight streaks gold through the water, making each scale and wave glow like liquid light. The paintings exude calm, elegance and a touch of nostalgia - a tribute to the serene beauty of marine life in the golden hour.
The inspiration for this series comes from my childhood memories of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's documentaries, when ocean light was still warm, grainy and poetic. That same softness and wonder return here, translated into a contemporary, interior-friendly aesthetic in which tranquillity and light play the leading role.
