Shipwreck

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

A sweep of blue water cuts through the composition, bordered by densely painted passages of red, orange, white, and deep green. The surface is animated by angular brushstrokes and layered marks that suggest fragments of vessels, shoreline activity, and rocky terrain. Areas of thicker paint contrast with transparent washes, allowing different stages of the painting process to remain visible. Color shifts rapidly across the canvas, moving between cool coastal tones and concentrated bursts of warm pigment.
