Lotus, Mixed media, 80 x 80 x 4cm, framed in a handpainted white tray frame. This contemporary painting of koi carp and lotus flowers explores the themes of strength and prosperity through light, movement, and form. The koi, often seen as a symbol of resilience and determination, is depicted beneath fractured reflections of light on water, suggesting progress and adaptability. The composition focuses on balance and contrast—between fluidity and structure, calm and energy—offering a modern interpretation of perseverance and success.
