History & Inspiration of the Artwork

Lotus is part of the Iris Series, created collaboratively by artists Natali de Paula and Aline Bergson. In this composition, the Yin Yang symbol represents the natural flow of life — a continuous movement between light and shadow, presence and silence, expansion and retreat.

At the center of this balance lies the lotus flower, a universal symbol of rebirth. Just as the flower rises from deep waters to bloom on the surface, the artwork reminds us that transformation is an essential part of the human journey. The lotus represents the ability to renew oneself after passing through challenges, revealing beauty, awareness, and balance.

The turquoise green tones evoke serenity and renewal, while black and white reinforce the duality present in every life experience. Natural crystals incorporated into the artwork add a symbolic dimension of energy and intention, strengthening the connection between matter, nature, and spirituality.

Hand-drawn lines move across the composition like an organic map of existence. They suggest that life is never a straight path — it unfolds through curves, detours, lessons, and unexpected encounters. Each line carries the idea of movement, transformation, and growth.

Lotus ultimately invites contemplation and introspection, reminding us that true balance emerges when we acknowledge and integrate our own light and shadow.
