Water Garden

Water Garden

100 x 90 cm Acrylic on Canvas 2024

Light dances across the surface of still water, where floating foliage creates a tapestry of reflected greens and blues. Drawing from Monet's timeless vision of the water garden, Karin translates this classical subject through her own distinctive brushwork—individual strokes layer and merge like lily pads drifting across the pond's surface.

The composition flows organically from the luminous center outward, where water becomes mirror and garden becomes dream. Touches of coral and yellow punctuate the verdant palette, suggesting the fleeting moments when sunlight catches a petal or pierces the water's depth. Her pointillist-inspired technique creates layers that seem to breathe with the gentle pulse of the garden itself.

This work transforms the timeless subject of the water garden into something entirely contemporary, where observation becomes immersion and the boundary between viewer and nature dissolves into pure color and light.
