Tempest’s Refuge
Oil
Artist Statement
This piece reflects the turbulent yet transformative journey of life. The waves, fierce and relentless, symbolize the challenges that can erode the world around us. Yet, amid the chaos, there is serenity—a reminder of the strength found in stillness. The mermaid, unyielding, embodies perseverance and the quiet confidence that no storm lasts forever. This work is a testament to the resilience of spirit, standing firm as the waves crash and recede.
