Underwater
Description
This piece by Sartika Mohomad is an abstract piece from Indonesia, inspired by the crystal yet warped nature of water. When looking at this piece, the viewer is almost transported to the position under the water, looking up through the flip side of the water's surface up to the sky. This painting evokes feelings of nostalgia within the viewer, bringing a sense of familiarity possibly experienced during their childhood days. Mohomad draws upon these connections and employs an abstract marbled technique to create the light-warping, optically illusive movement of water from an underwater perspective. This painting not only inspires the viewer through its evocative nature but also is inspired by personal experiences and awe.
