All so quiet
"All so quiet, all so still. And then comes another big riot" (like that wave!) Bjork
This A3 alcohol ink painting is a vivid and fluid interpretation of the sea — at once powerful, serene, and full of motion.
Composed in hues of turquoise, cobalt, and violet, the painting features an immense curling wave dominating the right side of the composition. The ink bleeds and flows in translucent layers, capturing the natural fluidity of water. Fine, inky lines outline the contours of the wave, giving it a sense of definition while still retaining the dreamlike quality.
The background is tranquil and softly striated, suggesting a distant horizon and calm sea. Horizontal strokes evoke the shimmer of light across the water, while the foreground ripples in soft arcs — echoing the rhythm of the ocean's pull.
The spiral curl of the wave draws the eye inward, a visual metaphor for the cyclical, ever-returning nature of tides and time. There's a sense of suspended movement here — as if the wave is caught in a breath just before breaking.
As with all original artwork non reflective glass is highly recommended when framing as it protects the painting.
