Fluffy Spring

“Fluffy Spring” is inspired by the magical feeling of springtime—when everything blooms and the world feels soft and alive again. I was inspired by lilac flowers, their delicate texture, and their calming colors. I wanted to combine nature with a sense of warmth and coziness, which led to the idea of a fluffy kitten resting inside a teacup. This painting expresses joy, tenderness, and the beauty of simple, peaceful moments.
