In this painting, the ocean becomes a symbol of infinite compassion, embodied in a feminine figure that merges the qualities of Tara and Guan Yin.
She is both serene and powerful - a presence that radiates mercy, protection, and the quiet strength of water.
Soft layers of blue, silver, and aquamarine reflect her boundless energy, while delicate textures evoke the shimmer of waves under moonlight. The figure is not separate from the ocean but rises from it, as if the sea itself has taken human form to offer peace and guidance.

This work is a meditation on the essence of feminine energy - nurturing, forgiving, and infinitely deep - a talisman of tranquillity for any space it inhabits.

Symbolic Insight

THE MOON

The moon is a symbol of cycles, intuition, and the hidden depths of the soul. It reflects light rather than producing it, reminding us of receptivity, reflection, and the ever-changing nature of life. Across cultures it embodies feminine energy, compassion, and the rhythm of renewal - a guiding presence in the darkness.

TARA – GUAN YIN

This feminine figure unites the qualities of Tara, the ever-present protector in Tibetan Buddhism, with Guan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion in Chinese tradition. She embodies mercy, protection, and unconditional love - a presence that listens to the cries of the world and responds with boundless compassion.
Tara’s energy of action and Guan Yin’s infinite empathy merge here into one archetype of feminine wisdom, a guardian who brings serenity, healing, and guidance across all waters of existence.

SUN

The sun here is not only a source of light and life, but also the symbol of awakening and compassionate power. It embodies warmth, vitality, and the radiant aspect of feminine wisdom - the active force that illuminates the path, dispels fear, and nurtures growth. In union with the moon, it reflects balance between strength and gentleness, action and reflection.

AQUAMARINE

Aquamarine is the stone of clarity, serenity, and flowing truth. Its clear blue tones echo the calm of the sea, symbolizing purity of mind and the courage to speak from the heart. Across traditions it is seen as a talisman of protection on water and a guide for the inner voyage, bringing balance to emotions and opening space for compassion. Like the ocean itself, aquamarine carries both depth and lightness — a crystal of tranquillity and renewal.
