They say that when birds fly low over the waves, it is an indication of rain. It is a painting I've been working on over a few months exploring a slightly different colour palette. This painting is driven by emotions of unlimited freedom and inspired by my travels and by my strong bond with the sea. My story: With the sound of crashing sea waves and the hot feeling of sand under bare feet, my story starts in Famagusta, Cyprus. My family’s childhood home built along the scenic coastline, I spent most of my early years by the beach. It is here that I came to know the limitless freedom of the Ocean. They bring to surface memories of being near water and the warm breeze across skin. The movement of water with its shapes, patterns and colours that swirl into and out of each other create fascinating abstract imagery. They tell a story. They suggest a metaphor of the human experience as we experience our journey through life. Water suggests a powerful energy as we become mesmerized by the reflected movement of the waves. This painting is meant to evoke emotions and give importance to the element of water so vital to our existence but so often taken for granted or wasted.
