"Coexisting" is a tribute to the delicate balance of nature – a miniature ecosystem where every element depends on the other. In a large glass bowl, koi fish and a mermaid coexist among branches of pink and white flowers, their roots reaching into the water. The flowers provide oxygen, while the fish nourish them, forming a harmonious cycle of life and sustenance.
The background features an abstract wallpaper in a shabby chic style with elegant medallions, offering a nostalgic contrast to the vibrant scene in the foreground. Luxurious materials enhance the painting's radiance – the mermaid's lower body shimmers with genuine 22-carat gold leaf, while the blue gravel at the bottom of the bowl is painted with oil mixed with lapis lazuli.
"Coexisting" is a reminder that everything in nature is interconnected, thriving in mutual dependence and harmony.
