In the landscape art painting "The Green Pond" a boy jumps into a green pond without hesitation.  The scene takes place in a lush grassland that adds to the painting's tranquillity.

In the background, the skyline is dominated by a number of large white apartment buildings. Their modern architecture forms a striking contrast to the natural elements in the foreground.

The composition effectively balances the energy of the boy with the stillness of the landscape, capturing a moment of pure joy amid the harmony of nature and city life. The delineation between the natural environment and the urban background emphasizes the coexistence of these two contrasting worlds.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. 

db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
