Sunbmerged
Sunlight descends through water in shifting columns, illuminating a vibrant underwater ecosystem where coral formations bloom alongside clusters of shells and weathered stones. Karin's fluid brushwork captures the perpetual movement of this aquatic world—each stroke follows the gentle sway of reef life and the play of light as it filters through the water column.
The composition builds in layers, much like the reef itself, where organic forms accumulate over time into complex patterns of life and color. Brilliant blues and greens merge and separate, suggesting the way water refracts light and creates an ever-changing landscape of shadow and illumination. The painting's texture mirrors the living surface of coral and the smooth wear of stones shaped by countless tides.
This work transforms the hidden architecture of the reef into an abstract language of color and form, where the viewer becomes an underwater explorer discovering the quiet beauty that exists beneath the surface.
