Garden Pond with Water Lilies, 1994 – Oil painting by Alexander Michael
Item e7646
This vibrant oil painting from 1994 captures a beautifully arranged garden pond surrounded by lush plants and terracotta vessels casually placed around the edges. At the center, water lilies in various stages of bloom float among dense lily pads, with blossoms in shades of pink, white, and violet. The rich palette, expressive brushstrokes, and interplay of light and color give the scene a sense of warmth and movement. The balance between cultivated garden elements and natural growth conveys a peaceful, almost intimate atmosphere. Oil on chipboard. The signature 'AM 94' appears in the lower left corner. Framed in a light wooden frame that complements the sunny, summery mood of the painting.

Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
