Fish pond (2022) 100 x 70cm

Mixed media and phosphorescent paint
 
In this evocative painting, Green masterfully captures a poignant biographical moment through the serene yet powerful imagery of a boy engaged in the meditative act of fishing. The boy, poised over a pond teeming with colossal koi, serves a metaphor for the artisti's journey through life's trials. The distinct composition of the scene, viewed from a bird's-eye perspective, emphasises themes of perseverance, strength, courage, and patience - qualities that Green drew upon during her own significant battles. This figurative work not only highlights the tranquility of the moment but also invites viewers to reflect on their capacities for resilience and fortitude.
