The intertidal zone is almost like a secret place. The environment is hazardous and in constant change through the movement of waves. On the rocky platforms that are exposed tell this story of transformations. the eroded marks, the stones, shells, any residue left behind has a compelling history through its passage of time. This embroidered painting is an example of the stunning marine life that can be stranded but survive or move elsewhere to relocate by other means than the waves.
I find the traces so fascinating and this has a marked effect of showing how resilient nature is and its inherent forces to adapt or let it be.
The composition reflects the watery world that is at risk to all other elements, including other marine life or man.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Embroidery

Technique which consists in adding on a fabric a flat or relief pattern made of simple threads, sometimes by integrating materials such as sequins, pearls or even precious stones.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
