Passion Fruit Blooming
Watercolor painting on 300 gr watercolor paper
In this piece from the “The Blossoming of Life in Alanya” collection, the flowers, blossoms, and fruits of the passion fruit plant—painted in warm, vibrant tones—symbolize the fertile spirit of the Mediterranean.
A migratory bird, pausing for a golden taste, captures a moment of gentle harmony between nature and life.
There is a tender exchange between the bird and the fruit—between presence and offering.
In the bird’s eye, as the artist’s signature style, a blooming flower appears—an eye that sees life with both softness and depth.
But the true wonder lies hidden inside one of the fruits: a miniature yet detailed scene of Alanya’s harbor—featuring the Red Tower, the sea, a ship, a lighthouse, distant mountains and buildings, and even a mountain goat standing proudly above the dock.
All of this held within a single fruit—like a condensed memory of the beauty of this land.
“Passion Fruit Blooming” invites us to see the world—even within the smallest fruit.
