Fleur de SEA, Sea Turtle, Number1, Original

For centuries, sea turtles have symbolized wisdom, endurance, and safe passage across the world's oceans. In Fleur de SEA, Sea Turtle, Number 1, those timeless qualities are reimagined through intricate hand-painted patterns inspired by the flowing elegance of Zen Doodle art and the rich visual storytelling found in Polynesian tattoo traditions.

Rather than depicting the turtle through realism alone, delicate linework and graceful motifs become part of the animal itself, celebrating the profound connection between humanity and the sea. Bathed in luminous aqua light, the turtle appears to drift effortlessly through water, inviting the viewer into a quiet moment of reflection and wonder.

Created as part of Julie Siracusa's Fleur de SEA collection, this original oil painting reflects her belief that art can inspire a deeper appreciation for our oceans while supporting the conservation efforts that help protect them for future generations.

Originally offered at gallery value, this painting found a collector for above its asking price, reflecting the growing appreciation for Julie Siracusa's original works.

Although this original has been collected, I welcome commission inquiries to create a one-of-a-kind painting inspired by the beauty of the ocean and designed especially for your home or collection. You can also explore the available works in the Fleur de SEA collection to discover another original waiting to be collected.
