Description
This work by Sako is an oil painting depicting a wave in full explosion of foam, captured in its powerful and hypnotic movement.
The painting style, halfway between realism and expressionism, is distinguished by an energetic gesture and an application of material that gives depth to the water. The use of a palette knife or a heavy brush accentuates the texture of the wave, making its force almost palpable.
The dominant colors are shades of blue, from the deepest to the most translucent, contrasting with the bright white of the foam. This chromatic interplay captures the light and gives the water an impression of transparency and life. The darker background reinforces the power of the wave, creating a striking contrast between the depth of the ocean and the choppy surface.
The work evokes allegories of power, freedom, and ephemerality.
