The Callof the Depths

This painting began with a wish to capture the beauty of a seashell, a form in which nature brings fragility and strength together. Its ridges remind me of an imprint of time: something small that seems to hold an entire world. I chose a vivid green background to bring out its warm colours. The shell appears silent, yet it recalls the sound of the sea we imagine when holding it to our ear. I wanted to paint that connection between silence, memory and imagination.
