A humpback whale slowly swims up through a sea of light. The sun breaks through the surface of the water, illuminating the coral in soft hues of peach, ecru and gold. The image captures the enchantment of weightlessness and light - a peaceful dance underwater.
In the Golden Reef series, the ocean shows itself in its softest 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.
