30x30 cm ~ Painting, Acrylic
You're swimming underwater. Fish, dolphins, rays, and many other common sea inhabitants swim toward you. And suddenly you see something. What is it? A fish, a ray? Doesn't look like it. But what? Dark below, adorned as if with shells, and above—no, not air bubbles. Something luminous, shimmering like jewels. And if you touch the painting, you'll feel the texture of this object.
What is it?
The work is executed in acrylic with textured paste, creating a relief surface. The central form is enigmatic—it could be an unknown sea creature, an ancient artifact, sunken treasure, or simply the play of light and shadow in the ocean depths. The dark lower part contrasts with the light, shimmering upper part—as if something is rising from the abyss toward the light.
The palette is deep-sea—dark blue, black, purple tones create a sense of depth and mystery. Light areas—white, pearlescent, iridescent—add enigma. The texture allows you not only to see but also to physically feel the relief of this mysterious object—run your fingers over the "shells," feel the protrusions and indentations.
"Secrets of the Ocean" is a work about the unknown, about the mysteries of the ocean depths, about what has not yet been discovered by humans. About the moment of encountering something inexplicable, when your breath catches and the question arises: what is it?
Ideal for spaces that value mystery and enigma—such as a study, library, lounge area, or nautical-themed interiors. The dark palette creates depth and intrigue. The work becomes a conversation starter, with everyone offering their own interpretation of what's depicted. The textured texture invites tactile contact. It's especially effective with accent lighting, which highlights shimmering highlights and creates the illusion of ocean depth.
