About the artwork

The painting reveals a dramatic scene in which the forces of wind and water take centre stage. The main depiction shows a roiling sea with raging waves driven by a mighty storm and violent gusts. A remarkable feature is that the masses of water seem to burst out of the sea of clouds, causing the waves to surreally and unrealistically shoot up to dangerous heights.

Majestic cliffs stretch along the coast, acting like an insurmountable barrier between land and sea. These rocks and stones, sculpted by wind and weather, convey an atmosphere of indestructibility and natural power. In the midst of this powerful environment stands a lone tree, bravely bending to the wind, while a man with a stick braves the relentless storm.

A striking centre of light on the horizon magically attracts the viewer's gaze. Above this centre of light, an opening in the clouds opens up, through which radiant rays of light penetrate together with the mighty masses of water.

The approaching tidal wave represents another impressive manifestation of the ocean's mighty power. The depiction of gusts and crosswinds creates an intense sense of movement and urgency. The scene as a whole is infused with a refreshing intensity that captivates the viewer and takes their breath away.

This painting masterfully captures the untamed energy of nature and invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the wild beauty and destructive power of wind and water. It reminds us how nature, in all its splendour and power, shapes and forms our world.
