GIRL ON VACATION — POOL TIME
Ancient Paradise · Personal Mythology
Original soft pastel on archival paper · 40 × 30 cm · 2026
THE STORY
Created during a journey through Rhodes, Greece, this work holds a quiet moment of escape: warm light, still water, a resting body and the feeling of stepping outside ordinary time.
Rather than documenting a place literally, the drawing preserves the atmosphere of being there. A temporary pause becomes a lasting memory.
THE ARCHETYPE
The Vacation archetype is the permission to pause. It speaks to rest, pleasure, presence and the rare moments when nothing needs to be achieved.
Pool Time becomes a meditation on stillness—the space between movement and movement, where the body remembers how to simply be.
THE ANCIENT PARADISE READING
Ancient Paradise is not only concerned with ancient myths. Personal experiences can become mythology too when a fleeting moment carries enough meaning to remain inside us.
This drawing turns an ordinary vacation moment into a small relic of freedom: a reminder that rest is not an absence of life, but part of it.
THE COLLECTION
Part of the evolving Ancient Paradise body of work, where memory, place, symbolism and imagination meet through painting and drawing.
