Velvet Depths

Velvet Depths
Original Abstract Painting
100cm x 50cm | Chalk & Mineral Paint on Canvas | Unframed
Velvet Depths invites you to sink beneath the surface into a world of slow tides, hidden layers, and quiet wonder. Inspired by sea life, movement, and the unexpected magic in ordinary studio moments, this painting is a sensory experience — a blend of deep ocean tones, soft textural shifts, and the feeling of being held by something vast and alive.
Painted using chalk and mineral paints, this piece glows with a subtle luminescence: moody blacks and shadowy greys give way to luminous teals, mossy greens, and the softest hints of lilac and pearl. The layered texture feels organic and wave-worn, like the imprints left by time, tide, and touch.
Part of the Everyday Alchemy collection, Velvet Depths emerged from a colour palette discovered in a paint-soaked tea towel — a reminder that beauty often begins in the most overlooked places. This piece celebrates the poetry of noticing: of slowing down, tuning in, and finding grace in the murmur beneath the noise.
