Mermaid in an Office Lobby - Oil Painting

An oil painting-style scene of a mermaid seated at a sleek glass-walled office lobby. The mermaid has iridescent emerald and sapphire scales, long aquamarine hair, and a shimmering silver tail that curls along a polished marble floor. She sits on the edge of a contemporary reception desk, half-submerged in a shallow pool of reflective water that forms around the tiles. Around her are modern office elements: glass desks, chrome lamps, potted ferns, and a row of elevators, all rendered with thick, tactile brushstrokes. Soft daylight streams through oversized windows while warm overhead fluorescents cast dramatic golden highlights and long shadows. The scene is painted in a classic oil-painting style with rich textures, heavy impasto, and subtle glazes, blending Rembrandt- and Caravaggio-inspired chiaroscuro with a surreal urban setting. The mood is contemplative and mysterious, as if the tide has entered a corporate space.
