“Water Lily on Purple Water” is an original watercolor and colour pencil artwork created in 2025 by Gautam Mazumdar. Painted on 250 GSM paper, this hand-painted piece measures 15 × 11 inches and captures a single water lily in full bloom, rendered with remarkable delicacy and depth.

The vibrant pink and white petals emerge gracefully from a deep, mesmerizing purple water surface, creating a striking contrast that immediately draws the eye. Fine detailing in the stamen and subtle petal folds gives the flower a luminous, almost three-dimensional presence. Gentle ripples and soft tonal gradients in the background add mystery and calm, while the green lily pads provide balance and grounding.

The harmonious blend of fluid watercolor washes with precise colour pencil detailing highlights the artist’s mastery and sensitivity toward natural forms. Delivered unframed, the raw texture of the paper and edges allow viewers to experience the artwork in its purest, most intimate form.
