Seabreeze

Seabreeze is a heartfelt ode to cherished childhood memories, inspired by holidays spent with family along the iconic West Coast. The artwork immediately invokes a sense of peace and happy nostalgia, capturing a moment of perfect stillness. The artist utilises a harmonious, analogous colour scheme, where the gentle blues and aquas of the sea and sky create a serene and expansive feeling, beautifully reflecting the crisp, clear light of the coast.

The composition is anchored by the quintessential white washed fisherman’s cottages and the bright, cheerful colours of the boats resting on the sand. These pops of primary red, yellow, and blue inject a joyful energy into the otherwise tranquil scene, drawing the eye and adding a whimsical, narrative quality. They tell a story of community, of days spent on the water, and of a simple, unhurried way of life. The soft rendering of the waves lapping the shore and the distant, hazy mountains evokes a profound sense of calm and contentment, transporting the viewer to a place of sun warmed sand and salty air.
