Plants in a Portal, Lily pad
$1,618.00
"Lilypad," by Ken Kammal, is a 20" x 16" acrylic painting that embodies serenity, emergence, and the hidden strength beneath still waters. Long associated with rebirth and spiritual clarity, the lilypad in this piece becomes a subtle portal—anchored in the murky depths yet offering a platform for light to rise. Painted in 2024, it is part of the Plants in a Portal collection, where botanical forms become visual metaphors for transformation and higher awareness.
The painting is encased in a 3-inch wide, gold-painted wooden frame with a rounded, elevated edge, crafted from gesso-coated solid wood. This elegant frame accentuates the painting’s tranquil energy, making it a meditative focal point for any interior.

2. Cleaning:
-
Dust the surface gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
