Neptune 2

This moody abstract painting captures the mysterious depths of the ocean through layers of deep blue and teal, with subtle hints of earthier tones peeking through at the top. Catherine de Potter has created a textured surface that feels both ancient and alive, like looking at weathered ocean walls or the sediment of a forgotten seabed. The scratches, marks, and varying transparencies give the piece a sense of time passing, as if water has been slowly working its magic on this surface for centuries.

Named after the Roman god of the sea, "Neptune 2" doesn't try to show you what the ocean looks like on a sunny day. Instead, it takes you to the darker, more enigmatic parts where light barely reaches. The painting's rough, almost industrial texture contrasts beautifully with the fluid associations of water, creating something that feels both heavy and weightless at once. It's the kind of piece that might look different depending on your mood or the light in the room, revealing new details the longer you spend with it.
