A tranquil study of contrast featuring a luminous lotus above gentle ripples and a graceful koi gliding below. The piece is rendered in soft graphite and charcoal textures, preserving a quiet black-and-white mood while a selective splash of teal highlights the lotus seed pod and filaments. Subtle gradients, circular ripples, and velvety shadows create depth and movement without visual noise. Inspired by Japanese ink-wash traditions and zen garden stillness, the composition balances floral delicacy with aquatic calm. Its restrained palette makes it versatile for bedrooms, studios, spas, and meditation corners. The koi suggests perseverance and luck, while the lotus symbolizes renewal—together forming a calming focal point for modern, minimalist, or wabi-sabi interiors. Ideal for collectors of botanical and aquatic art who appreciate refined detail and contemplative design.
