The lotus is a flower that closes its petals every evening and hides in the swampy muddy water to return in the early morning as soon as the first rays of the sun appear in the sky. It symbolizes rebirth, spiritual purity and tranquility of life in its beauty and grace. Dissolving its flower at dawn, the Lotus became a sign of youth, immortality and renewal of vitality. Its petals resemble the rays of the Sun, and the bud itself forms a circle, like the center of the universe. My picture is painted in the Radiance technique. Oil, round canvas. Painting-meditation, its energy is peace and fullness.
