Mind & Flow Original Gouache Illustration (Framed 8x8")

A meditation in motion, "Mind & Flow" is an original gouache painting inspired by an unexpected muse—my yoga mat. Born from the quiet moments of mindfulness and the lessons learned in stillness, this piece explores themes of self-awareness, observation, understanding, and forgiveness through the visual metaphor of a serene pond scene.

Hand-painted on 8x8” watercolor paper and enclosed in a coordinating 8x8” frame that’s suitable for wall hanging or tabletop display, this vibrant composition draws on tattoo-style linework and symbolism to bring its elements to life. Two swirling koi fish represent balance and perseverance, a blooming lotus speaks to growth through challenge, and flowing water encircles the scene—carrying with it the reminder to stay present, adaptable, and open-hearted.

Rendered in gouache, a richly pigmented paint with a velvety matte finish, the artwork offers the precision of watercolor with the boldness of acrylic—allowing every detail and contrast to shine through with clarity and depth.
