This acrylic painting captures a vivid, sun-soaked memory of a joyful moment shared with my son in the crystal-clear waters of Nusa Penida, Bali.

Inspired by a holiday photo, the piece reflects both the warmth of the day and the connection between us, brought to life through soft, impressionistic brushwork.

As my first attempt at portrait painting, it was an experiment in style and technique—one that I approached with uncertainty but ultimately found deeply rewarding, leaving me genuinely happy with the result.
