Floating Silence – Soft Pastel Lily Pond Painting Pastels

“Floating Silence” is an original soft pastel painting that captures a quiet lily pond suspended between reflection and atmosphere. The composition is semi-abstract, allowing forms to dissolve gently into color, light, and emotion. Water lilies appear as calm accents, floating in stillness rather than defined space.
This artwork invites the viewer into a moment of pause — a visual breath of silence.
✦ Artistic Style & Inspiration
Inspired by impressionist traditions and modern abstraction, this piece echoes the spirit of Monet’s water landscapes while remaining deeply personal and contemporary. Soft pastel layers create a velvety surface where subtle transitions of green, turquoise, blush, and misty grey evoke depth and tranquility.
The focus is not realism, but mood, rhythm, and emotional resonance.
