Hidden Waters explores the quiet interior spaces of cenotes—ancient caverns where water slowly dissolves limestone and reveals hidden chambers beneath the earth. Inspired by visits to the cenotes of the Mayan Riviera near Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, the painting reflects the mysterious beauty of these subterranean environments.

The composition reads like a vertical slice through the earth. Dissolving stone forms appear at both the top and bottom of the painting, while the central portion is washed with layered greens and blues that suggest the luminous waters found deep within these cavern pools.

Translucent pigments drift across the sculpted terrain, allowing color to settle into the carved surface and bloom organically along the edges. The shifting hues of blue and green move across the textured stone, echoing the quiet movement of water as it slowly shapes and transforms the limestone over time.

Rather than depicting a specific place, Hidden Waters captures the feeling of encountering these hidden environments—where water, stone, and time interact in a space that feels both ancient and alive.
