Pond, Sivani Badrivenkata

While Monet's garden and water lilies are well-recognized as an endearing symbol in the art world, the answer to their popularity lies in how they serve as a muse to countless generations of artists. This is my interpretation of Monet's garden. Far different from the original impressionist style, my lotuses can best be described as new. Paying homage to the countless painted lotuses that have come before them, they reside in the (sometimes) still pond of my bright imagination.
