In this painting I wanted to capture the magic of the lotus flower, a symbol of spiritual rebirth. The lotus is an aquatic flower, thanks to the round shape of its leaves it is able to float on water while maintaining all its beauty, but its roots are completely immersed in the mud, thus symbolizing rebirth in a world contaminated by impurities. Giving a lotus flower as a gift can be a gesture of encouragement for those who are going through a difficult period since its symbolism can serve as a reminder of the ability to overcome challenges and emerge stronger. In the work, the delicate petals and the reflective water create a harmonious composition, in which natural beauty is celebrated in every single detail. The watercolor adds an ethereal quality to the scene, reminding us of the fragility and beauty of life.
Since I was a child I have always had a strange interest in "how things are done". If I liked an object, I didn't ask "where did you buy it?", but "how do you make it?". The result has never interested me, or almost nothing, for me the creative process was and is everything. The joy of designing, experimenting, doing and trying again, as you probably know, cannot be explained in words. I spent my time modeling, drawing, colouring, assembling and dismantling, but... Then as I grew up I moved further and further away from this world, from my world, and I started to think about serious things, I embraced life as an adult and with it a sense of emptiness and apathy. Until one day, in the middle of an attack of anxiety mixed with desperation, I said to myself: I want to get up in the morning and start painting. Crazy? Maybe yes. But happy 🌈
