ABOUT
Named for the ancient Greek goddess of the sea, Amphitrite’s Lair is a deep and immersive work I created to evoke the mystery and majesty of the ocean’s hidden realms. Painted during late winter nights in the early days of Divinemoira Studio, the piece carries the mark of an unexpected alchemy: as temperatures dropped, the acrylics began to freeze mid-application, separating pigment and crystal in a way no brush could replicate.
The resulting surface shimmers with unexpected textures—glints of frozen blues that echo the movement of tides far below the surface. In this liminal space between control and surrender, I found myself in a conversation with the sea itself: What secrets does the deep keep? What voice rises from its darkest trenches?
An original piece rich in mythology and born of both elemental chance and artistic intention, Amphitrite’s Lair invites you to pause, descend, and listen.
