Description
Elephant d’Eau immerses the viewer in a dreamlike underwater world — a flowing symphony of blues, greens, and golds where motion and stillness coexist. The forms appear to ripple and breathe, evoking both the gentle sway of aquatic life and the grandeur of an unseen presence — an “elephant” made of water and light. Circles of color float across the composition like air bubbles or celestial orbs, suggesting both depth and ascension, body and spirit.
The painting’s layered blues invite contemplation, while the luminous yellows and touches of orange radiate warmth — like rays of sun filtering through the ocean’s depths. Each curve and contour seems to pulse with life, carrying the rhythm of nature’s eternal flow. Through its dynamic interplay of abstraction and suggestion, Elephant d’Eau becomes an allegory for strength through fluidity — the grace of power expressed not through force, but through movement, transparency, and harmony.
It is a painting that feels both vast and intimate, bridging the material and the spiritual. The water becomes a mirror, the color a voice — a meditation on balance and transformation.
I love it because it speaks of strength in softness — of how power can move gently, like water shaping stone. The deep blues soothe me, while the luminous circles remind me of renewal and the quiet persistence of nature’s rhythm.
Materials
