Pebbles are more than just stones—they’re part of life’s natural rhythm, shaped by time, water, and the forces of nature. In a painting, they become a reflection of life itself, each one carrying its own story, smoothed and worn by the ocean or river that carried it. They’re not just objects on a canvas; they symbolize the steady flow of time, the quiet persistence of nature, and the beauty found in simple things.

In my painting, these pebbles represent something deeper. They’re a reminder of how small moments, like the act of collecting them on a beach, are often the ones that stick with us. Each pebble, with its unique form and texture, tells a story of transformation and resilience, and through painting them, I capture that journey.

The pebbles in the artwork are more than just shapes; they’re a way to connect with the land and water, a visual representation of the forces that shape our world. As the painting evolves, these stones take on new life, becoming part of a narrative that links nature’s beauty with our own experience, grounding us in the timelessness of the earth. Through the brushstrokes, they become symbols of the enduring beauty in life's smallest details, quietly capturing the essence of both nature and memory.
