CARRIED FROM THE SEA

2019, Oil on Canvas, 30 x 24 in. (76.2 x 60.9 cm.)

A Herculean figure of immense strength is either saving this woman or ravishing her as he effortlessly wades calmly through the peaceful sea. In this classical theme, the artist creates a striking contrast with his expert use of cool, delicate color and flowing line with the intense drama of the scene.
