About this painting

A moody abstraction of deep water, open to interpretation.

Built with multiple layers of translucent paint, acrylic mediums, sand and silica. The surface has depth and a pronounced texture that hints at geological formations resembling a sea-carved terrain of a deep ocean trench.

Ideally suited to a wall with ample natural light, allowing the rich blues to emerge through the layered surface.

Colour and light and online images

Online images often do not fully capture the vivid colour palettes and depth of these types of abstractions. This is due to colour compression and the limitations of screens. Colours often underrepresented in digital images include hues from turquoise to deep blue.

Textured artwork with multiple translucent layers will also vary considerably depending on ambient light, influenced by the time of day and the weather.

The photos in the gallery have been taken under different lighting conditions to provide a balanced representation. This piece is ideally suited to a minimalist, contemporary setting.
