About the artwork

This panoramic work unfolds an abstract seascape of great sensual and material impact. Thick layers of acrylic paint are applied to the canvas in relief, creating an almost sculptural surface - a vibrating field of movement, fragment and form.

Rectangular segments run through the composition like drifting floes on the open sea. They appear fragmentary and yet they belong together - as if they were snapshots of a constantly changing whole.

From the right rises a huge, blue-toned wave with a foaming gout - powerful, effervescent, a symbol of untamed nature. Opposite it, a smaller, orange-coloured form enters the picture from the left, more reminiscent of a flame than water - pulsating, rising, full of inner tension.

A visual duel unfolds between the two poles - water and fire: coolness against heat, mass against energy, calm against urge.

The spray is accompanied by small, floating spheres that seem to mediate between the forces. These spherical shapes lend the picture an almost magical dimension, as if they were the bearers of an invisible dynamic.

The result is a tense interplay of elements - an abstract balance that does not dissolve, but leaves things open. The work invites you to pause for a moment, to immerse yourself in a rhythmic interplay of power, colour and form.
