Deep Blue

Acrylic painting entitled "Deep Blue" was competed in 2003 and captures the excitement of a Blue Marlin chasing a school of small tuna and crashing beneath the ocean surface in hot pursuit.

In this electrifying masterpiece of maritime art, the viewer is transported to the heart of a marine spectacle, where the boundless energy and power of the ocean come alive in a vibrant tableau. The painting captures the thrilling moment when a colossal Blue Marlin crashes beneath the surface, its sleek body a blur of indigo and silver as it pursues a school of small, darting tuna.

At the center of the composition, the Blue Marlin dominates the scene, its muscular form depicted with remarkable detail. Its cobalt-blue skin glistens as if it were forged from liquid sapphire, and its elongated body appears almost sculpted, poised for an extraordinary feat. The marlin's sword-like bill is raised, a testament to its intent, while its dorsal fin cuts through the water with razor-sharp precision.

Surrounding the marlin, the small tuna evoke a sense of urgency and chaos. They scatter in all directions, their silvery scales reflecting the brilliance of the sun above and the fiery energy of the hunt below.In this painting, the artist has masterfully depicted the adrenaline-fueled pursuit of the Blue Marlin, a testament to both its power and grace in the relentless pursuit of prey. The viewer is invited to share in the awe-inspiring spectacle of nature, where the ocean's depths hold secrets of exhilaration and wonder, and the timeless dance between predator and prey continues beneath the waves.
