What’s Left of the Old Fisherman

This vibrant abstract painting, titled “What’s Left of the Old Fisherman”, bursts with emotional energy through its layered, turbulent surface. Dominant fields of luminous turquoise and teal sweep across the canvas like restless ocean waves, punctuated by deeper cyan and patches of glowing emerald, creating a sense of submerged, ever-shifting light. Interwoven among these cool tones are bold, almost bruised passages of deep maroon, crimson, and plum that rise like weathered memories or remnants of something once solid—perhaps the ghost of a boat, a figure, or the fisherman’s weathered hands—now dissolving into the chromatic chaos. Thick, expressive brushstrokes and scraped textures collide in places, while thinner, translucent glazes allow underlying colors to bleed through, suggesting depth and time passing. The overall effect feels both turbulent and meditative: a vivid, color-saturated elegy for something lost at sea, where the once-familiar has been broken down and remade into pure, haunting atmosphere.
