Scape 1, Rise and Fall, 63.25 x 39”, oil on canvas

The ocean, when viewed from different angles, presents a mesmerizing array of simultaneous viewpoints. Its vast expanses is embellished with gentle, undulating colors, arranged within a harmonious golden ratio format. The rhythmic rise and fall of water create a symphony of waves from all directions. However, amidst this seductive rhythm, there is a presence that stands out starkly in this painting – the vertical white wash, which represents our increasing detachment from nature. The contrast between the muting of the vertical geometric white wash and the vibrant hues of the sea serves as a poignant reminder of how we have distanced ourselves from the natural world around us.
