"When I created "Kismet," I wanted to capture that feeling of fate—how sometimes things in life seem to fall into place like they were meant to be. The painting portrays a serene seascape, where the horizon blurs between sea and sky. I used deep blues and lighter tones to evoke a sense of calm, allowing the viewer to feel drawn into the vast, quiet beauty of the moment.

The way the clouds hang low over the water feels like an impending change, a reminder that life is unpredictable. Yet, there's also a peacefulness to the scene, a reminder that sometimes we just need to trust where the current takes us. The blend of colors creates a soothing, meditative effect—something I hoped would evoke a connection to both solitude and the larger forces of nature.

"Kismet" is about embracing that quiet moment of reflection and acknowledging that sometimes, everything aligns just as it's meant to."
