Modern Semi-Abstract Aquatic Landscape Watercolor

This illegibly signed semi-abstract watercolour, dated from 1989, features a captivating and dreamy representation of sub-aquatic life. The technique used in this piece creates a deep, contrasted atmosphere with gradations of colours tints. The painting offers intricate details and bold colours, which give viewers an invigorating glimpse into life under the sea. These details move between abstract shapes, cubist forms, and figures like fish or underwater plants.
A strong light source is visible from the depths of the serene landscape –as if it reminded us of all life’s possibilities. 60% of our bodies are water. Why not consider them as an outer representation of our inner world? Whether we think of Atlantis or the amniotic fluid in which we float in our mother''s womb, aquatic landscapes offer many metaphors that leave room for interpretation. They are always sources of great introspection, touching on universal and intimate mysteries.
