Sea Water Marble - Original Oil Painting - 4 inches

A tiny, swirling ocean captured in a single drop of glass.

"Sea water marble" is a luminous original oil painting that explores the mesmerizing depth and transparency of a classic glass toy. The composition features a single **blue-teal marble**, its center filled with a striking, curved **deep red swoosh** and flashes of electric **lime green**. The marble rests on a soft, textured lilac and pale pink background, casting a beautifully diffused teal and purple shadow.

Painted on a petite **10 cm (4 inch) handmade primed cradled wood panel**, this artwork hides a vibrant secret: a **yellow underpainting**. This hidden base layer provides a warm, internal glow that vibrates through the cool blues and greens, making the marble appear to catch and hold the light from within.

Alai’s signature **impasto technique** is used to create sharp, white reflective highlights on the surface of the glass, contrasting perfectly with the soft, blended tones of the background. This miniature masterpiece is an elegant, jewel-like addition to an office desk, a small shelf, or as a focal point in a colorful gallery wall.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Masterful Transparency: Thick oil paint is used to create the difficult illusion of light passing through glass, capturing the complex "world" inside the marble.
• Radiant Underpainting: The yellow base layer acts like a light source behind the paint, giving the teal and green pigments an incredible, life-like luminosity.
• Sculptural Depth: The cradled wood panel gives this small piece a significant, high-quality feel, standing out from the wall with a modern, clean edge.
