Style & Reminiscence

Marking its place in the lineage of abstract expressionism, this artwork nods to the spontaneity and emotional depth seen in works by masters like Jackson Pollock. It also shares a kinship with the ethereal beauty of J.M.W. Turner’s landscapes, where color and light are in constant dialogue. The blend of watercolors adds a fluidity reminiscent of John Marin’s seaside vignettes, while its use of acrylics introduces a structural integrity that echoes the boldness of Helen Frankenthaler’s canvases. Together, these influences create a rich tapestry that speaks to both the cerebral and visceral experiences art can provide.
