Description
In the painting *Underwater Hourglass*, Vera Novak Schwarzer depicts a female figure emerging from a stream of turquoise and red. An oyster opens above her head like a crown; jellyfish float around her, and golden lines hold the entire structure together.
The artist works in her characteristic symbolic and illustrative style. Here, time flows beneath the surface—slowly, organically, and with no possibility of return. The oyster and jellyfish become both guardians and witnesses to this silent flow.
A hand-painted original that brings a sense of depth, transformation, and underwater rhythm to the space. A painting that measures time differently than the clock on the wall.
A symbolic, illustrative painting with mystical and organic elements
