Sonia Anton - Nerissa

Nerissa is an expressive contemporary acrylic painting inspired by the quiet power and fluidity of the sea. Deep cobalt, ultramarine and midnight blues flow across the canvas in sweeping, organic forms, creating the impression of a mysterious feminine presence.

The soft ivory negative space contrasts beautifully with the intensity of the blue, allowing the central form to feel both powerful and ethereal. Layers of visible brushwork and texture add movement and depth, while the simplicity of the composition leaves space for personal interpretation.

The name Nerissa, associated with the sea and sea nymphs in Greek mythology, reflects the painting’s sense of mystery, femininity and connection to water.
