Description
This oil painting by Sako captures with remarkable intensity the surge of a wave, frozen in a moment of pure energy. The artist shows the sea in motion, not as a simple landscape, but as a living, almost organic entity, deploying its force in a powerful and fluid gesture. The shades of blue and green, which slide subtly into each other, convey the depth of the water as much as its transparency. The light seems to spring from the very heart of the wave, illuminating its belly with a vibrant emerald green before blossoming into white foam. The pictorial material is dense, almost sculpted: the reliefs of paint, particularly in the foam, give a palpable texture to the surface of the sea. We can guess the broad gesture of the brush, perhaps also of the knife, which traces the curves of the water and suggests the swirls on the surface.
