Waiting for the Wave

This painting captures a row of surfboards resting on the shore beneath dense tropical greenery, turning a beach scene into a study of color, rhythm, and leisure. Bright oranges, pinks, yellows, and turquoise create a lively vertical pattern, echoed by the flickering foliage above and the textured water below. The impasto surface gives the scene energy and warmth, preserving the sensation of heat, salt air, and summer stillness. Rather than focusing on action, the work celebrates the atmosphere surrounding it—the pause before or after movement.
