 Fire Opal, Acrylic & Resin (Mixed Media)

In this artwork, the night sky descends toward the earth as if wishing to speak to those who know how to listen to silence. Deep blues and blacks create a sense of infinite depth — a world where water receives the starlight and protects it, turning it into a secret.

Within these layers shimmer fragments of natural Fire Opal — a stone long believed to be a fiery messenger of the heavens. Its glow here is not a reflection of resin, but the living light of a real mineral, hidden inside the canvas like a precious seed of the universe.

It is the Fire Opal that creates the effect of “star sparks,” as if celestial lights dissolve into the water and guide you into another dimension — a place where the boundaries of the world become thinner.

But this painting carries its own legend.

They say that in ancient times, stars knew how to look at themselves — the same way we look into a mirror. When the water was especially still and clear, it became a portal that reflected not the outer image of the sky, but its inner world. In those rare moments, one could hear the whisper of the cosmos: guidance, knowledge, inspiration.

That very portal opens within “Star Reflection in Water.”

If you linger your gaze, you may feel the space around you pause. There is a sensation as if you are standing by a quiet mountain lake at night, while the world sleeps and the sky reveals its heart only to you.

In this silence, the things we usually overlook begin to emerge:

— clarity,

— answers,

— ideas,

— inspiration,

— a meeting with yourself.

This painting is a place of power, a space for meditation and inner peace. It brings an atmosphere of depth and cosmic wisdom into any home, reminding us that the most important revelations arrive in moments of stillness.
