“Sea Storm” presents a dramatic coastal scene captured exclusively through the layered interplay of glass. The composition draws the eye from a sandy shore in the foreground to restless waves that surge and curl with textured detail, conveying the raw energy of water in motion. Above, a brooding sky stretches across the upper part of the panel, where stormy grays mingle with subtle hints of muted yellow, creating an atmospheric tension that hints at an approaching tempest. A distant shoreline subtly defines the horizon, grounding the scene while emphasizing the vastness of the turbulent seascape.
Suspended within an elegant wood and metal frame, the vertical orientation of the panel intensifies the viewer’s focus on the natural elements and shifting moods within the scene. The absence of paint highlights the innovative use of glass as the sole material, skillfully manipulated to evoke depth, texture, and light. This technique brings an immediacy and tactile quality to the artwork, inviting reflection on both the power and quiet complexity of nature’s changing weather. “Sea Storm” stands as a compelling exploration of atmosphere and movement, where material and subject converge to create a richly layered experience.
