Mermaid in Red is a bold maritime portrait that captures both myth and memory. Set against a deep red backdrop, the mermaid emerges as a symbol of strength, longing, and the untamed pull of the sea. The red ground evokes passion, warning flags, and weathered hulls—an echo of maritime history where beauty and danger often shared the same waters. 

Rendered in a rustic, vintage style, the piece feels timeless, as though it could have been discovered in an old coastal tavern or painted into the pages of a sailor’s forgotten logbook. The mermaid stands not as a fantasy ornament, but as a presence—steadfast, watchful, and deeply rooted in the lore of the ocean.

This work honors the sea as both muse and force. The mermaid becomes a guardian of maritime stories: of journeys taken, loves lost, and tides that always return. Mermaid in Red brings a bold coastal soul to a space, grounding it in heritage, mystery, and the enduring call of the open water.
