A Dream House in Nature: The Story Behind This Painting

 A Dream House in Nature: The Story Behind This Painting

As I’ve mentioned before, I have a deep love for nature. I’m not sure why, but greenery, flowers, and plants have always captivated me. Maybe it's because I was born on World Environment Day—it feels like nature has always been a part of me. That’s why most of my artwork is centered around nature.

For this particular painting, I tried something different by creating a boundary within the scene. Usually, I fill the entire canvas, but this time I was inspired to add a frame to the floating island-like landscape, almost as if it exists in its own peaceful world.

The concept for this piece came from a dream I had the night before. In the dream, I was in a serene, quiet place—a dream house far away from the noise and chaos of the world. I woke up feeling inspired and started searching for images on social media to guide my vision. I found one that resonated with me and, using my imagination, I added a few personal touches to make it my own.

This floating house, connected by a bridge and surrounded by nature, represents peace and tranquility, a place where I could live in harmony with nature, away from the busy world.

What do you think about this painting? Does it resonate with you? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
