Sterk begins with the delicate color washes of watercolor, allowing the paint to find its own path across the surface. The inspiration of peacock feathers is felt in the rhythmic, circular motions and the rich interplay of gold and earthy tones, rather than in a literal depiction. This approach emphasizes the physicality of the paint, where smooth color blending creates a sense of depth that draws the eye into the center of the composition.

The artist further develops the piece through digital editing, introducing a moody atmosphere that anchors the lighter, fluid forms. This layering process results in a multifaceted resonance, where the brightness of the gold is tempered by darker shadows. It is a study in dynamic motion, capturing the way light shifts across a surface and turning a natural observation into a bold, expressionist statement.
