‘Aqueous Swarm IV’ — Original Ocean-Inspired Abstract Painting by Jacquelyn Stephens

Acrylic & Oil on Canvas | 76cm x 76cm (30" x 30") | Ready to Hang

Step into the luminous depths of Aqueous Swarm IV — an original abstract painting that invites close contemplation and curiosity. This one-of-a-kind artwork is part of Jacquelyn Stephens’ celebrated body of work exploring the intersection of microscopic life, oceanic forms, and organic patterns.

With its vibrant colour palette and softly glowing layers, this large-scale piece evokes the swirling energy of tides, the drift of sea anemones, and the quiet beauty of cellular life in motion. Inspired by the turquoise waters of southern coastlines and the intricate micro-worlds found in rock pools and coral reefs, this work pulses with both serenity and dynamic movement.

The painting’s softly shifting background, paired with luminous ovoid forms, creates a rhythmic visual flow — allowing the eye to roam and discover new details with every glance. It’s both an underwater daydream and a celebration of nature’s hidden architecture.

Collectors are drawn to this painting for its:

Vivid, glowing colour palette inspired by sea life, molecular forms, and waves

Calm yet energetic movement and layered depth

Thought-provoking themes of microscopic wonder and interconnectedness

Uplifting, joyful presence that enlivens interiors

Whether you see an aquatic garden or cellular structures adrift, Aqueous Swarm IV offers a visual meditation on beauty, fragility, and nature’s unseen rhythms.
