Water Lily Flower Meaning

For the month of July, I studied the water lily. During a time of turmoil, I appreciated its affiliation with spirituality and rebirth. Indeed, the bloom shines yellow-white against the murkiest of swamps and rivers.

The water lily is a highly symbolic flower, although its meaning varies from culture to culture. Personally, I tend to associate it with purity and grief and always imagined that Ophelia was surrounded by water lilies during her final moments of Hamlet.

t’s a very symmetrical bloom, which tested my freewheeling style of sketching. I tried to draw out that characteristic while maintaining the whimsy of rippling petals on the water’s surface. My favorite depictions (although slightly obvious) remain Monet’s impressionist studies. I hope I can see them in person some day.

If you’re like me, it’s nice to have a break from staring at screens. That’s why start all my designs on paper. Then, I digitize them and turn them into printable art. Each piece is created to be collected and shared.

I release my favorite designs as free phone wallpapers. If you liked this design, be sure to follow me on Instagram @verdera.me and Facebook /daniverderame. I hope you enjoy this wallpaper inspired by the aster bloom.
