Reflection of calm By Malena Chavez Oil 2025 Signed - SHIPS FROM Lima, Peru This painting depicts a lotus flower gently emerging over calm, deep waters, surrounded by serenity and balance. The water becomes a space of pause and contemplation, allowing the flower to open with quiet grace. The lotus symbolizes emotional harmony and inner growth achieved through stillness rather than struggle. Its reflection suggests a dialogue between the inner self and outer presence, between what is felt and what is seen. Soft green tones convey stability and connection with nature, while the pink petals introduce sensitivity and warmth. The work invites introspection, mindfulness, and a peaceful acceptance of one’s emotional state. I am a 21-year-old architecture student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru whose artistic practice exists at the intersection of space, emotion, and visual storytelling. Painting is an essential language through which I explore identity, memory, and inner landscapes. I began exhibiting my work at the age of 17, marking the start of an early and committed artistic journey. Through watercolor, collage, oil, acrylic, and pencils, I translate personal experiences and emotional states into visual narratives that invite contemplation and interpretation. Each piece is conceived as a space to be inhabited emotionally rather than physically. My work seeks to communicate vulnerability, introspection, and transformation, encouraging viewers to connect with their own emotions. I am particularly interested in the dialogue between control and spontaneity, precision and intuition.My artistic path has led me to exhibit internationally in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Germany, and France.
