CONCRETE OCEAN
A few thoughts from the artist.
In this bold seascape, I created waves which surge across the canvas not as fluid water, but as sculptural forms — almost as if they were carved from concrete. Each crest and curve is intensely detailed, with ridges, grooves, and brushstrokes that give the illusion of weight and permanence. Bright colors collide in controlled chaos, lending the scene an otherworldly energy. The waves feel frozen in motion, like dynamic architecture shaped by nature’s force, balancing abstraction with realism.
There’s a strange, captivating tension in the painting: the ocean, typically soft and shifting, appears solid and immovable, like a monument to its own power. The texture is almost touchable, as if the surface holds the memory of storms and time. Light dances across the structured waves, creating dramatic contrasts that suggest both movement and stillness. This is not a tranquil seascape—it’s a reimagining of the sea as a raw, physical presence, offering viewers a fresh, tactile way to experience the power and poetry of water.
