Into the Deep, the Deep Is Calling: Watercolours N°1
The “Watercolours” are large contemporary seascapes, an exploration of circumstance and a declaration of love to color. How does something formless and clear become so detailed and vibrant? It is “a sea of glass mingled with fire,” much like our souls, reflecting its depth and environment as an ever-moving mirror.
Painted with multiple layers of oil, the represented colors themselves take on the elusive nature of water, interacting with the ambient light to create an image that moves and relates. The realism challenges perception and becomes abstract through the magnification and absence of contextual information.
