Serpent Sun, 2022. Watercolor, Ink — 9×12 in / 22.9×30.5 cm.

A serpent coils gently among blooming golden flowers, framed by a radiant halo of gold. Painted in watercolor and ink, Serpent Sun explores the tension between softness and strength; life blooming while something ancient and watchful moves through it. The serpent, often a symbol of transformation, renewal, and hidden knowledge, winds through the stems like living sunlight, its gilded markings echoing the circle behind it.
This piece reflects the quiet cycles of nature: growth, shedding, and return. The bright blossoms and luminous gold suggest warmth and vitality, while the serpent reminds us that change and wisdom often arrive quietly, weaving themselves through the living world.
