About the artwork

This painting shows a powerful and mythical interpretation of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, depicted in a swirling, stylised form that combines human and elemental forces. Neptune's commanding face, rising from a churning sea of waves and whirlpools, is coloured in shades of green and blue and has an expression that is both solemn and majestic.

His flowing beard and hair transform seamlessly into towering currents and crashing waves, blurring the line between deity and ocean. Intertwined curls mimic the movement of the water, reinforcing the theme of a god completely connected to his realm. Surrounding him are stylised splashes, sea creatures and submerged elements, all dancing in the vortex of his power. Some parts of the design hint at coral structures and sunken relics, adding mythological depth and visual interest to the theme.

The contrast between light and dark colour tones creates a dynamic visual rhythm that leads the viewer's eyes in a circular motion around the work, mirroring the movement of the sea itself. Neptune's eyes are deep-set and contemplative, hinting at the wisdom of the ocean and its ancient, untamed spirit.

This artwork captures the awe-inspiring presence of Neptune as a protector and stormy force of nature. With its rich texture, elegant lines and mythical symbolism, "Neptune Rises" is a tribute to the primal beauty and eternal mystery of the sea god. It is a celebration of oceanic majesty, human imagination and the enduring legacy of myth in the visual arts.
