THE STORY BEHIND THE PAINTING
A chapter in light and place.
THE JOURNEY
Coastlines are places of transition. Land, water and sky meet without ever becoming fixed, and the entire scene can change with a passing cloud or a shift in the tide.
What stayed with me was the sense of luminous distance—the way the horizon seemed both completely clear and impossible to reach.
IN THE STUDIO
I wanted the painting to retain that openness. Broad passages of colour establish the sea and sky, while broken marks along the shore create movement without closing the composition.
Cool transparent layers are balanced by warmer notes so that the painting feels illuminated from within rather than simply lit from above.
