Three Hearts by the Ocean

Three Hearts by the Ocean captures a quiet, intimate moment on a shoreline, where three figures — likely from one family — engage in simple acts of daily life. A child wades in the water, another sits thoughtfully on the sand, while an elder figure works with calm focus over a wooden basin. The deep blues of the ocean blend seamlessly with soft reflections and the warmth of the earth, evoking both peace and resilience. Painted in acrylic on paper, the composition balances realism and emotion, telling a universal story of connection, routine, and care. The figures, though rendered in shadow, feel alive — their presence shaped more by movement, posture, and relation to one another than by facial detail. This piece speaks to the timeless rhythm of life by the water, and the unseen bond that links the "three hearts" through labor, play, and quiet observation. It invites viewers to pause and feel the stillness, warmth, and strength that exists within everyday human connection.
