The ocean has always fascinated me—the power, the mystery, the rhythm that feels both untamed and deeply grounding. With Big Wave, I wanted to capture that exact moment when the water rises, gathering all its strength before it crashes down. It’s a fleeting instant, but to me it feels eternal, full of energy and possibility.
I worked in oil because it allows me to build up layers of depth and movement, letting the brushstrokes echo the flow of the water itself. The vibrant blues and shifting tones are my way of showing not just the ocean’s beauty, but also its force—the sense that it can both soothe and overwhelm you in the same breath.
When I painted this piece, I wasn’t just painting a wave—I was painting the feeling of standing at the shoreline, caught between awe and respect for nature’s raw power. My hope is that Big Wave brings that same energy into your space, reminding you of the strength, freedom, and serenity the sea can offer.
