Koi Whispers - Original Painting
"Koi Whispers" is a hyperrealism portrait that blurs the line between reality and fantasy, capturing a woman swimming in peaceful communion with her graceful friends. Do they exist, or are they a figment of her imagination?
Kayla’s first underwater portrait, “Hold”, was an emotional attempt to replicate a reality of equal intensity to a specific feeling: the feeling of holding one’s breath while crying. She wanted to capture the sensation of feeling underwater- the ringing in your ears, the lack of oxygen that almost dances along the threshold of pleasure. A feeling of complete pause, and complete inner silence. A moment of truly allowing yourself to feel the emotion of sadness- to float in it, shutting out the outside world completely. Kayla quickly fell in love with the challenge of combining her love for portraiture with painting the ripples, bubbles, and reflections of being underwater, ultimately leading her to her underwater portrait series.
Measuring 30 × 40 inches, this original oil painting is a one-of-a-kind original, imbued with a sense of tranquility and fantasy. Signed by the artist and accompanied by a palette stamp certificate of authenticity, this piece is more than art—it is an invitation to step into another world.
