About the artwork

This painting is an impressive homage to Hokusai's world-famous "Great Wave off Kanagawa" - and at the same time a free, contemporary interpretation of the elemental power of the sea. A monumental wave rises in the centre of the work, rearing up, foaming, full of movement - a natural moment of overwhelming intensity, captured at the moment of overturning.

Unlike the classic model from the ukiyo-e tradition, this wave is not painted in shades of blue, but shimmers in the colours of the rainbow. Its surface vibrates in luminous nuances - a kaleidoscopic reflection of inner emotions. The spray, light and radiantly white, lies over the crest of the wave like a breathing breeze.

The sky behind it is a glowing red - a dramatic sunset that charges the pictorial space with energy. Only a remnant of blue sky remains visible at the top right-hand edge - a final sliver of stillness in the raging play of colours.

This wave is more than a natural motif - it is a symbol: for inner upheavals, for emotional power, for that which carries us away and transforms us. The painting transcends the visible world and becomes a projection surface for awakening, overwhelming and realisation.

A homage that not only honours Hokusai's motif, but also carries its meaning forward - into the present, into the personal, into the universal. A work that does not want to be contemplated, but lived through.
