Description: “Surge” is an exploration of movement, energy, and the raw force of nature. Using bold, sweeping brushstrokes, I sought to capture the dynamic flow of water, wind, or even emotion—elements that surge forward with unstoppable momentum. The dominant blues, ranging from deep navy to vibrant cerulean, create a sense of depth and fluidity, while the energetic white strokes crash across the canvas like waves against a shore or gusts of wind through an open space.
Hints of warm yellows and oranges in the background add contrast and light, subtly suggesting the interplay of energy between elements—perhaps the meeting of sky and sea, or the way sunlight fractures through mist. The texture, created through layered and gestural oil application, enhances the feeling of turbulence and movement, allowing the piece to shift and transform depending on the viewer’s perspective.
This painting invites you to feel the intensity of motion, the push and pull of forces beyond our control, and the beauty found in chaos. It is about embracing the surge—of nature, of thought, of change—and finding rhythm within it.”
