Shattered Sea

This is a modern abstract painting characterized by bold, textured brushstrokes and a striking color palette of cool and warm tones. The dominant colors are various shades of blue and teal, suggesting a body of water or a misty atmosphere, and metallic gold, which is applied in large, vertical swaths. The upper left of the canvas is dominated by thick, white and gray paint, giving a sense of cloudy skies or a worn texture. The gold appears to be flaking or streaking over the cool-toned base, creating a sense of decay or natural aging. The bottom half of the painting features horizontal brushstrokes that create a reflection-like effect, mirroring the forms above and grounding the composition. The overall piece has a sense of elegant, industrial decay or a serene landscape viewed through a distressed, metallic lens.
