Awakening 2021

"Awakening," a 2021 painting by Michael Cheval, features a woman draped in flowing gold fabric, appearing to rise from the ocean. The woman’s eyes are closed, suggesting a state of tranquility. The ships in the background, both above and below the waterline, symbolize the passage of time and the journey of life. The vibrant colors and intricate details create a visually captivating piece that invites viewers to ponder themes of rebirth and transformation.
