Water lily pond in the palace garden in Karlsruhe, oil on canvas by Swetlana Kowal
The oil painting, Water lily pond in the palace gardens in Karlsruhe, by Swetlana Kowal from 2017 captures the quiet poetry of a summer's day in the castle garden. It was created as part of the project, Plein Air in Baden, and impressively conveys the harmony between nature and light. Even at first glance, the work draws the viewer into a peaceful world in which water, color and sun merge in gentle harmony.
Depiction and motif of the water lily pond in the palace gardens in Karlsruhe
The painting shows a quiet Water lily pond, whose surface is covered with round, light green leaves. In between, delicate, white-yellow flowers open up and float on the glistening water. The reflection of the sky and the surrounding trees creates a deep, almost dreamlike dimension. In addition, the light reflections on the surface of the water look like lively brushstrokes of the wind, expressing movement and tranquillity at the same time.
Coloring and painting technique
Swetlana Kowal uses a warm, impressionistic color palette. Strong blue and green tones are combined with yellow and rosé accents. The brushwork is lively and impasto, with each layer of paint telling its own story. Nevertheless, the composition remains balanced and clear. The skillful use of light creates an impression of depth and lightness, giving the work an almost meditative effect.
Atmosphere and interpretation
The atmosphere of the picture is calm and peaceful. It invites you to pause and recalls moments when time seems to stand still. The Water lily pond in the palace gardens in Karlsruhe is depicted here not only as a motif of nature, but also as a symbol of inner balance. The work therefore not only conveys beauty, but also a feeling of security and harmony with the world.
Use and effect
This painting is ideal for galleries, art collections or as a stylish gift for art lovers. It brings light, color and tranquility to any room, be it a private living room, an office or a public exhibition. Swetlana Kowal's work thus becomes a lasting expression of closeness to nature and artistic sensitivity.
