A tiny creature with a big lesson to share.
Stay Curious is a vibrant watercolor inspired by the remarkable Blue-Ringed Octopus, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet one of the most powerful beings in the ocean. Beautiful and delicate, but also fiercely venomous when it needs to be.
This piece is a reminder to behold the world with wonder, to let the magic of nature mesmerize you, and to embrace that beautiful balance between gentleness and strength.
Painted with eco-friendly watercolors and flourished with real ocean salt, the soft, organic blooms across the surface hold a rhythm and life of their own, a little bit of the sea forever captured in paint.
Stay Curious is for those who seek meaning in the small things, who find joy in discovery, and who never stop exploring the magic that exists all around us.
