Mystical Waterfall
By Timothy Mulligan
Located in Laguna Beach, CA
Timothy Mulligan's "Mystical Waterfall" is a captivating geometric abstraction that reimagines the elegance of a flowing waterfall. The artwork features angular, layered forms that evoke the cascading movement of water, blending fluidity with structured design. Light-colored boulders frame the composition, their pale tones offering a serene contrast to the dynamic, crystalline patterns of the waterfall. Mulligan employs gold accents with precision, adding a luminous quality that suggests sunlight glinting off the water’s surface or the ethereal glow of a hidden treasure. The interplay of sharp, geometric lines with soft, natural hues creates a harmonious tension, inviting viewers to ponder the balance between nature and abstraction. The overall effect is both tranquil and energetic, capturing the timeless beauty of waterfalls while pushing the boundaries of traditional landscape art...
