Third Wave

Oil on canvas, 2024

A masterful exploration of motion, light, and elemental power, this dramatic seascape captures the awe-inspiring force of a Hawaiian wave at the moment of its ascent. Layers of luminous turquoise, deep sapphire, and soft violet sweep across the canvas, creating a sense of depth and movement that feels both immediate and timeless. White spray explodes from the crest, illuminating the surrounding water against a backdrop of volcanic shoreline and fading island light. Balancing raw energy with refined elegance, the work evokes the spirit of Hawaii’s rugged coastlines, inviting the viewer to experience the ocean’s beauty, mystery, and enduring power.
