Turtle in Technicolour
About this item
Thailys Freites, Staff
A joyful, vividly coloured sea turtle glides through a wash of cool blues, greens, and purples. Its shell shimmers with a full spectrum of rainbow hues, each segment outlined in Thailys’s unmistakable squiggly inkwork that gives the creature movement, personality, and charm. Soft splatters of colour surround the turtle like dancing bubbles, creating a dreamy underwater atmosphere. The piece radiates playfulness and wonder, capturing the quiet grace of an ocean wanderer brought to life through expressive lines and luminous watercolour.
About the Artist:
Thailys, Head of Learning Support, has been painting her whole life. When her essential tremor progressed and straight lines became difficult, she refused to give up her craft—instead, she transformed her tremor into her style. Her distinctive squiggly lines and flowing watercolours are a celebration of adaptation, resilience, and the joy of creating without limits.
