Ocean's Hold

This 50cm by 50cm mixed media artwork captures the energy and fluidity of the sea through a swirling wave formation. The dominant turquoise palette shifts between soft, translucent aqua tones and deeper, saturated ocean hues, creating depth and movement within the composition.
 
The central vortex of the wave seems to draw the viewer inward, echoing the pull of tides and the cyclical nature of water. Layers of texture give the piece a tactile quality—suggesting foam, currents, and the roughened surface of the sea. Subtle variations in shading and the interplay of light and shadow evoke the sensation of being immersed within the wave itself.
 
The overall effect is both powerful and calming, balancing the force of the ocean’s motion with the serenity of its colours. It conveys the raw beauty of nature in flux, inviting contemplation of water’s dual nature—strength and tranquility entwined.
