Through Gilded Waters depicts a puffin peeking beneath the water, with textured ripples enhanced by the shimmer of pure copper leaf.
Through Gilded Waters presents an underwater view of a puffin swimming just below the surface, its gaze meeting the viewer’s eye. The pure copper leaf and textured water catches the light, transforming the ripples into luminous gilded patterns. Cool blue tones contrast with the puffin’s orange feet and bill, creating a striking visual balance. The interplay of realism with the metallic detail evokes both movement and tranquility, inviting the viewer to linger. This work celebrates the beauty of nature through the union of traditional oil painting and the unique reflective qualities of copper.
