Peace Painting

Why did you choose watercolor as the medium, subject matter, style? I chose watercolor as the medium for its unique ability to capture fluidity and subtlety. The transparent layers and soft transitions of watercolor lend themselves perfectly to conveying the delicate interplay of light and color, which is central to the mood and emotion I wanted to express. Watercolor’s inherent unpredictability and gentle blending of hues help to evoke a sense of spontaneity and tranquility. The subject matter of serene landscapes, ethereal figures was selected to reflect the themes of natural beauty, introspection, or the simplicity of everyday moments. This subject matter resonates deeply with the qualities of watercolor, allowing its inherent softness and fluidity to enhance the visual narrative. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? My intention with this work is to evoke a sense of peace, stimulate the imagination, and celebrate the essence of pure life. I hope viewers will engage with the piece in a way that invites them to experience tranquility and wonder. By immersing themselves in the work, I aim for them to reconnect with their own sense of inner calm and explore their imagination. Through the themes and emotions woven into the piece, I seek to inspire personal reflection and a deeper appreciation for the simplicity and beauty of life. What/who inspired the work? Nature and simplicity of life
