Wild Swimming

This painting presents a captivating depiction of a young mermaid, intimately connected with the element of water.  The style is expressive and abstract, employing a blend of techniques to convey both emotion and narrative.  The background is a chaotic yet harmonious blend of blues and greens, evoking the fruity and depth of the ocean.  The colour palette is predominantly cool with bursts of oranges and yellows hinting at a tropical sea.  The mermaid conveys a sense of serenity and freedom, intimately at one with her surroundings.  The water is flowing gently around her mirroring her inner state.  The image invites exploration of themes relating to nature, freedom and inner peace; a deep connection with the natural world, free from societal constraints.
