About the Item
This vibrant painting captures an abstracted seascape at sunset, rendered with bold, impasto brushstrokes and vivid, contrasting colors. The scene features two sailboats gliding across a deep blue sea, their white sails sharply angled as if catching a strong breeze. The sailboats are painted with thick, expressive strokes of oil, lending the forms a sculptural, almost tactile presence.
The sky above is ablaze with intense shades of orange, red, and yellow, evoking the saturated drama of a sunset. A bright yellow sun hovers near the top right, partially enveloped by swirling clouds rendered in thick, gestural strokes of orange and red. Streaks of yellow and dark accents cut through the sky, suggesting the last rays of sunlight and drifting clouds.
The horizon line, marked by a vibrant strip of yellow, separates the burning sky from the cool, undulating sea below. The blue of the water is energetic and layered, interspersed with strokes of other hues, giving the surface a sense of motion and depth.
This painting emphasizes texture, spontaneity, and emotion, rather than realism. The exaggerated color palette and the thick application of oil paint give it a dreamlike, almost childlike quality that borders on abstraction. The result is a striking and expressive image that invites the viewer into a heightened, almost fantastical vision of a maritime sunset.

His work is included in numerous private and public collections throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. His various bodies of work focus on themes of abstraction, the landscape and text based paintings.

He often times returns to existing themes or motifs with a fresh outlook after departing for periods of time.
