This mixed-media painting featuring a large, blooming white lotus flower with a yellow center. The petals are outlined in black ink, giving them definition and contrast against the dark green and black background, which appears textured with splashes of paint.
Above the lotus, the words "IKIGAI - REASON FOR BEING" are repeated multiple times in a handwritten, uneven script. The background transitions from a darker lower section to a lighter, sky-like upper section, possibly depicting water, land, and sky in a semi-abstract manner. The painting conveys themes of purpose, mindfulness, and spirituality, as "Ikigai" is a Japanese concept referring to one's reason for being or life purpose.
Ink, acrylic, pencil and watercolour on paper, this work is sold unframed.
