Secret Garden

Original abstract painting | Mixed media with structure paste and sand on raw cotton canvas | 25 x 30 cm | Framed in natural oak

There are places we carry within us—
quiet, hidden, untouched.
Spaces where we can retreat,
where beauty grows in silence,
and where we feel whole again.

Secret Garden is about that inner sanctuary:
the grounding presence we return to,
the stillness that restores us,
the quiet bloom of belonging.

Built with textured layers of structure paste and sand,
the painting holds both depth and light.
Colors flow and fracture like light through leaves,
creating movement that feels alive yet anchored.
It is a landscape of memory and essence—
a reminder that within us,
there will always be a place to rest.

I created this piece as a reflection on inner wholeness—
a garden we return to with breath, with pause, with trust.

Belonging to the Roots of Self Collection, this piece connects to a larger story of grounding and growth. Discover more here.

Created in 2025 with non-toxic acrylics, lime powder, and oil pastels on raw cotton canvas. Framed in a natural oak floating frame, ready to hang.
