Tulips Rising

'Tulips Rising' - Acrylic original 60 x 84 cm 
 
'Tulips Rising' is an evocative acrylic painting that explores the ebb and flow of emotions, symbolized through vibrant tulips growing beneath the surface of water. The water itself represents the powerful, ever-changing tides of our inner world—sometimes overwhelming, pushing and pulling us in different directions. It can often feel as though we are not making progress, yet like the tulips beneath the water's surface, we are quietly growing and evolving, even when we can't always see it.
The moment of blooming in this piece symbolizes the realization of how far we've come in our emotional journey. The colorful tulips, vibrant against the tranquil yet tumultuous water, serve as a visual reminder that our strength and resilience are already within us—waiting to surface when the time is right. The reflection of the tulips on the water’s surface highlights the subtle beauty in the struggle and the hidden progress we make each day.
This painting is a meditation on the quiet strength we carry through life's challenges, reminding us that even when we feel submerged, we are always moving forward. "Underwater Tulips" serves as an inspiring reflection on the beauty of persistence, growth, and the eventual bloom that comes when we least expect it.
