This work is an oil painting depicting a moving sea, with powerful and dynamic waves breaking under a clear sky.
The artist captured the light and transparency of the water using a palette of deep blues, emerald greens, and bright whites for the foam. The movement of the waves is realistically conveyed, particularly through the subtle contrasts between the shadows and the light reflections on the water's surface.
The straight, dark horizon structures the composition and gives a sense of infinity, reinforcing the ocean's strength and majesty. The texture of the paint, visible in the splashes and swirls, accentuates the sea's raw energy. The overall effect evokes both the power and wild beauty of nature, in an atmosphere that is both dramatic and soothing.
About the artist
Born in Montmartre in 1963, painting and writing have allowed Sako, whose real name is Serge Armagan, to put words to his pain. A painter for 40 years, but having always painted, he acknowledges that he is only just beginning to understand that the quest for excellence is a life's work and never ends. This humility, this quest for visual emotion that we offer to the gaze of others, are the guiding principles of his work.
