This is a visual diary that captures a two-year stay in Hawaii and personal impressions of experiencing its unique culture and nature. Each watercolor painting is based on the artist’s personal journey, conveying emotions and moments of discovery. These are not just landscape sketches, but profound artistic reflections, expressed through visual imagery, that convey the feelings of living on the islands.

The series includes studies and landscapes: waterfalls, tropical forests, volcanoes, and shorelines with both white and black sands. Watercolor techniques allow for the delicate portrayal of soft color transitions, shifting weather, and the flow of water, making them perfect for capturing Hawaii’s dynamic nature.

Local traditions and mythology are also reflected in the works. The series includes moments connected to folklore, festivals, and rituals. Color choices and symbolic forms express the cultural diversity and the artist’s experience of interacting with the spiritual and mythological aspects of local life.

The connection with nature plays a central role in these paintings. Life in Hawaii is inseparable from the feeling of powerful natural energy, and the watercolors convey this relationship through natural motifs, organic forms, and lifelike textures that seem to come alive on the paper.

The artist’s emotional states range from awe and inspiration to a sense of inner peace and harmony, which were discovered while living on the islands. Every brushstroke and detail reflects the artist’s inner journey, intertwined with the unique environment of Hawaii.

This series of paintings holds not only aesthetic value but also a deep personal meaning, expressing the significant moments and emotions that became essential to the artist during this time on the islands.
