60x44 inches /150x140 cm

Oil paint on canvas

2024

This painting reflects my deep connection to the ocean, a place where time seems to stop, allowing me to disconnect and find peace. Walking along the shore has always been a meditative experience for me, where I can lose myself for hours in the rhythm of the waves. A week before starting this piece, I visited a beach in Oaxaca, Mexico and collected sand, which I mixed with oil paint to create the textured dress in the artwork. This is a technique that I learned from traditional Oaxacan art and is a very big part of the Oaxacan art history and I wanted to show my tribute to it. This technique also brings a tangible element of the real world into the painting, capturing the essence of the moment. Through this work, I aim to evoke the feeling of timelessness and serenity that I experience by the sea—an expression of how the present can become profound when we allow ourselves to fully be in it.

I have a video of how I did the sand and oil part if you are interested, email me about it!

Signed on the back and will come with a personalized note just for you and a certificate of authenticity.

Purchasing an original painting is a big decision and an investment but I am most certain you will fall in love with the piece once you receive it because pictures just do not do justice. They don’t nearly show the true vibrancy of the colors, the brushstrokes, and the texture and layers of the paint. Each painting takes months to complete because of the labor that goes into it. If it's an oil painting, it also sometimes takes weeks between each layer and another 1-2 months to varnish it after. Every painting is made with love and is one of a kind. This painting will lighten up your home and impress everyone who enters your door. I use professional paints which will make the paintings last for hundreds of years so you will be able to pass them on to your family for generations. 

Since this is a handmade, one-of-a-kind item, I thoroughly check and make sure there are absolutely no defects and I pack it professionally to ensure safe arrival.

*All sales are final and there are no exchanges, refunds or returns on original one of a kind paintings, I thoroughly check each painting before I send it to make sure there are no defects. It is always packed professionally and supported with many layers of bubble wrap, Styrofoam and carton so it arrives without any damage. For international overseas shipping out of the Canada/Mexico/US I take it off the wood backing, roll it up and ship it in a tube.
