Lotus - Petals of Peace

This palette-knife floral painting captures the quiet elegance of blooming white flowers rising against a soothing teal background. Each petal is sculpted with thick, textured strokes, giving the blossoms a three-dimensional presence that draws the viewer in. The use of a palette knife - not a brush - creates sharp edges, layered ridges, and soft blends of white, cream, and gold, adding depth and movement to the canvas.

The teal backdrop is intentionally rough and abstract, allowing the flowers to stand out while still carrying a sense of calm and freshness. Touches of gold at the center of each bloom add warmth and subtle luxury, making the artwork glow under changing light. The leaves, done in soft olive tones, balance the composition while maintaining the earthy aesthetic.

What makes this artwork special is its combination of texture and simplicity - it feels minimal from afar, yet richly detailed up close. The raised petals give the painting a sculptural quality, making it not just a visual piece but also a tactile one. It’s the kind of artwork that transforms a space by adding serenity, depth, and a modern botanical charm.
