Tide’s Embrace is a celebration of movement and color that invites you into the shifting rhythms of water’s endless dance. This painting draws you in through its energetic swirls and spirals—waves of blue, green, yellow, and purple that flow and intertwine across the canvas, creating a living pulse. The forms are both bold and fluid, capturing a moment where motion feels alive and expansive.
The surface is richly textured, built up with layers of thick brushstrokes that give the painting a tactile presence. It’s this dimensional quality that lets you sense the water’s energy—not just see it. Above, ribbon-like shapes curl and weave, suggesting currents that twist and turn with a life of their own. Together, these elements create a vibrant composition that feels both dynamic and deeply immersive.
What inspired Tide’s Embrace is the siren song of the mermaid—a call that blends allure and mystery, pulling you toward the unknown with its enchanting rhythm. The work reflects that invitation to surrender to the flow, to become part of something bigger and gracefully moving beneath the surface.
In making this piece, I sought to capture not only water’s visual beauty but also its spirit—its irresistible force that shapes and renews. Tide’s Embrace is a vivid reminder of how life moves in waves, urging us to find our place within its ongoing embrace. I hope it brings a sense of joy and lightness, a moment to dwell in the embrace of motion and color that lifts the spirit onward.
