Jellyfish Fields

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Inspired by a sense of peace and tranquillity, this artwork captures a compass jellyfish drifting effortlessly beneath the water’s surface. Sunlight filters through the sea, scattering across the gentle ripples above and creating a fractured display of reflections. Balancing realism with an almost abstract feel, the piece portrays a fleeting moment of serenity, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty and stillness of the underwater world.

Medium: Coloured pencil
Category: Into the Blue

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Emma is a photo-realistic coloured pencil artist whose recent work explores the visual distortion created by water. Reflections, ripples and refractions fracture the subject, challenging viewers’ perceptions. Up close, the drawing may appear abstract or disjointed, it is only when stepping back that the image becomes clear. This experience mirrors the way nature itself reveals beauty gradually, rewarding patience and attention.
