In this painting, I tried to capture a mysterious and dreamlike moment - a being that is not quite human walking into still water filled with water lilies. This motif is emphasized by a unique combination of colors, where the cool and intense shades of blue and green are brightened by a golden, warm glow that doesn't just come from the buds of the water flowers, but emanates directly from this mysterious being.
