Heyo! I’m Lukko :D

I use Pinterest mainly as a personal archive of my artwork. Over the years, I’ve organized my paintings into collections by year, and sometimes, while browsing through old folders or recommendations, I come across photographs that make me see familiar things from a completely new perspective.That’s exactly how this painting began.I found a photograph of a swan diving underwater. The original image looked nothing like this painting—there were no underwater plants, no glowing light, no imagined world beneath the surface. But I was fascinated by the unusual point of view. I realized that I had never really seen a swan from that angle before.Unfortunately, I don’t know who took the photograph. It had been shared and saved on Pinterest without any credit to the photographer, so I can’t thank them personally.But that single image became the starting point for this painting. The underwater garden, the reflections, the colors, the atmosphere, and the story all came later as the work evolved. The swan was simply the spark that inspired the journey.So today I’d like to thank all photographers. You show us moments that most of us would never have the chance to witness ourselves. Sometimes one extraordinary image is enough to inspire an entirely new story on canvasAnd yes, I truly hope that swan was real and not AI-generated. The real world is already full of wonders if we take the time to look closely. 🤍
