30 x 60 cm - Alcohol ink/resin
For a long time, I wanted to create a painting focused on surfing. The feeling you get when you finally catch a proper wave after so many failed attempts is something I will never forget. But for a long time, I couldn't figure out how to express it in a way that truly captured what I feel.
That changed when I discovered a new way of working with resin. I cut out only the basic shape of a wave and then let the colors move freely within those boundaries, just like wild waves. I used surreal colors, because that feeling is almost otherworldly.
Amid all that chaos, there is a figure painted in oil — the only solid point — because in that moment, everything else disappears.
In the end, I mounted the whole piece slightly in front of the canvas using screws, to evoke the surface of the water. And that was it.
It's a piece I can look at anytime, and it always brings back that feeling — the one I keep chasing every time I head into the water with my board.
