Shadow and Shine – Oil Painting of Water Reflections and Depth.

Shadow and Shine captures a moment of quiet duality where light dances across the surface of deep water. Soft glimmers appear and disappear with the shifting wave, forming a contrast between glow and shadow, clarity and mystery. This artwork speaks of subtle transformation—how stillness can hold infinite change, and how depth and brightness coexist.

Painted in oil on canvas, the piece offers an almost meditative realism, inviting the viewer to slow down and observe the delicate balance between light and dark. It’s a visual poem about presence, perception, and the spaces in-between—like a breath held just before the tide turns.

A tranquil yet profound addition to any space, this painting suits both modern minimalism and serene organic interiors.
