This painting was inspired by a series of photographs I took while snorkeling, capturing the beauty of the underwater world. As I watched the sunlight filter through the water, I became completely fascinated by how the light danced and rippled over the stones beneath the surface. The movement of the water created these beautiful, shifting patterns, with the light constantly changing and reflecting off the pebbles in a way that felt both calming and dynamic.

The more I observed, the more I was struck by how the water seemed to breathe life into everything it touched, transforming the ordinary into something magical. The play of light and shadow, the way it shifted and changed with the current, made me want to explore that sense of movement and fluidity in my work. It was this mesmerizing interaction between water, light, and stone that inspired me to bring this scene to life in paint, allowing me to capture that moment of natural beauty and energy on canvas.
