Coastal Cliffside View, 2023

Coastal Cliffside View

"Coastal Cliffside View" captures the vivid colours of a rocky coastline, where warm ochre cliffs meet clear turquoise and emerald-green seawater.

Viewed from above, the coastline curves around a small rocky inlet. Sunlight reveals the changing colours of the shallow water, from pale green near the shore to deeper turquoise and blue further out. Small waves break gently against the rocks, creating delicate patterns of white foam.

I was particularly interested in the transparency of the sea and the contrast between the warm, sunlit rocks and the cool water. I used short, expressive brushstrokes to capture the movement of the waves and the constantly changing reflections beneath the surface.

The composition combines the energy of moving water with the solid forms of the coastal rocks. Touches of orange, gold and violet enrich the shoreline, while the open sea brings light and spaciousness to the painting.

This original impressionist seascape offers collectors a colourful coastal view with the freshness of clear seawater, natural rock formations and expressive brushwork.
