Painted plein air on the Costa Brava, Spain, in 2026, this painting explores the remarkable clarity of the Mediterranean Sea. I was captivated by the way sunlight revealed the underwater world, turning the water into layers of emerald, turquoise, and deep blue.
A single sunlit rock becomes the quiet focal point, surrounded by constantly shifting reflections and transparent depths. Rather than capturing every detail, I used expressive brushstrokes to convey the movement of light across the water and the changing colors beneath the surface.
This painting is about stillness, simplicity, and the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean coast—those rare moments when the sea feels both powerful and completely at peace.
