About the artwork

The artist employs impasto with exceptional skill, building layers of pigment that rise from the canvas, creating a truly palpable sense of texture. This technique is especially evident in the rendering of the lotus leaves, where the thick, sculpted paint evokes the organic forms and vibrant hues of the flower in a rich spectrum of pinks and reds. The delicate white blossoms, set against a serene lavender background, provide a compelling visual contrast, resulting in a work that is both dynamic and contemplative.
