J Valenzuela Didi
The Blue Iris for Ophelia
Oil and Acrylic on canvas
In this piece, I sought to capture a quiet moment of introspection. I was drawn to these handrails, glowing in the heavy atmosphere following a thunderstorm. Simple and unassuming, they stood as silent witnesses on a path alongside the ocean. It is in these moments, when the world feels suspended, that we are often confronted with our deepest thoughts. This painting is an invitation to welcome those feelings and explore the space between isolation and connection.
