Patchwork of the Atlantic

This painting is inspired by the countless shades the Atlantic reveals along the Canary Islands' coast — teals near the shore, deep navies further out, flashes of green where light meets reef. Horizontal and vertical blocks of teal, turquoise, navy, black, and white interlock in an offset patchwork, with varied opacity and brushstroke intensity adding texture and depth. Each block reads as a distinct moment of seeing, the same water observed at different hours.
The composition celebrates the geometry hidden inside the sea — the way the eye, given time, breaks moving water into bands of colour. It is meditative rather than dramatic, and rewards close looking: the longer you stand with it, the more variations of blue and green you find.
