Inspired by a beautiful sunset while flying over Europe in an airplane.
The ocean is a vital component in nature and an international icon across cultures and countries. Today with climate change and pollution it’s ecological integrity and beauty is threatened. The beauty, force and energy of water have always drawn me in. I am fascinated with the way light reflects in the water especially during sunset. Everything is always changing, even if only a little.
To emulate the play of light I use metallic paints and inks and I use mixed media to emulate the ripples and waves in the water and in some cases, just a little bit of sand, these pieces exude the natural and soulful energy that oceans, rivers and lakes have brought me since birth.
Nature can move me in ways I don't expect. When I am struck by something, I respond in paint. I find the idea of change incredibly fascinating. Everything is always changing, even if only a little. This painting does not intend to capture a single moment, but instead endeavors to create a space where nothing stands still.
