Tranquillity

 

The Tranquil collection of brand-new original abstract paintings is very special because it comes from a good, pure place. It reflects all the breathtaking beauty I’ve noticed in the forms that nature takes, even during a dark period when the world seems like it’s crashing due to the pandemic.

This collection reminds us to appreciate the beauty and joy that lie around us and more importantly within ourselves. 

It turns out the simple way of living opened a whole new portal to beauty for me.

If I realised one thing during this time of self-isolation, it is that true inner peace is independent of external conditions and circumstances. I appreciate the blessing of this state even more in times of turbulence and during unexpected twists and turns in life.

I have found that the slower pace of life during isolation has a positive impact on achieving this state, especially if one is open to seeing beauty.

The paintings I am sharing reflect this journey and all the inspiration I’ve found in the divine beauty of the private garden outside my home. They also convey all the heartwarming, tranquil memories of gorgeous seaside sunsets I store in my heart. 

 
 

Blooming from within

Only the full bloom of a flower can release its beauty and fragrance into the world. In full bloom, the flower is entirely itself. It doesn’t have to do anything. It simply is itself. And by being itself, it beautifies the world.

 The same is true with us. Inside each of us lies a vast reserve of personal power and the divine beauty of the inner self. We all have unique gifts that we bring into this world. The answers are always closer than we think. They lie within us. 

 
 

Catching the wave

“Sometimes in the waves of change, we find our true direction.” - unknown 

This piece is inspired by the stunning beauty of a wave kissing the sunset. Every sunset is an opportunity to reset.

Life is like an ocean that creates waves – big and small ones. It’s up to us to decide which wave we want to catch.

Pure tranquillity

This piece is inspired by the beauty of true inner peace. It grants tranquillity, balance, and the ability to remain calm, undisturbed, and in control, even in difficult situations.

When we are at peace with ourselves, we always find a way to make peace with our surroundings. A state of tranquillity makes us internally strong, able to deal with any external adversity.

Path to enlightenment 

“It is neither wealth nor splendour, but tranquillity and occupation which give happiness.” – Thomas Jefferson

In a world where everyone is trying to beat the clock, it is very rare to find time just to be yourself. Taking the time to reflect, care for ourselves, and look within can open a new door to a path to enlightenment. We are constantly shaping. We become our best and most beautiful selves when we are composed from within.

Renewal 

“Sometimes renewal comes in surrender.” – Rob Bell

This piece is inspired by the beauty of renewal. Everything in life comes and goes. Nothing remains static, like nature’s perfect symphony when we watch the reflection of the pink sun setting into the horizon over the sea, and the waves keep crashing into the shore over and over. It’s about all of the renewed water that keeps coming in. Renewal often requires opening ourselves up to new ways of thinking and feeling – not always comfortable but so worth it. Renewal is a beautiful thing. 

 
 

It’s a new day; it’s a new dawn

This triptych is inspired by the magical illumination of the golden hour during sunrise.

Every day has many beautiful moments. But often these breathtaking, priceless moments pass us by because we’re distracted by worries and not paying attention. Sunrises are like a recovery for our souls – they’re full of hope and new beginnings. Each day is a gift. Each day will be unique. Each day is an opportunity to grow and live beautifully.
