Bioluminous Rockpool Drift Basalt Coast - Original Abstract Sealife Painting

Bioluminous Rockpool Drift – Basalt Coast

Original Abstract Ocean-Inspired Painting on Linen
102 x 102 cm | Acrylic Polymer Paint on Linen

“Bioluminous Rockpool Drift – Basalt Coast” is a striking large-scale abstract painting that merges the mysteries of the sea with the microscopic worlds of life beneath the surface. Inspired by aquatic landscapes, cellular structures, and the rhythmic pulse of ocean light, this artwork offers collectors a truly unique vision of contemporary abstract art.

The deep interplay of dark and luminous tones evokes the drama of the ocean’s basalt coasts, while jewel-like accents of turquoise, aqua and ultramarine shimmer across the surface. The circular, organic motifs recall both microscopic cell life and drifting jellyfish blooms, inviting the viewer into a meditative, almost zen-like experience of floating and lightness.

Through its layered textures and subtle depth, the painting captures a sense of the sublime — a merging of science, art, and nature. Collectors often remark that this series makes them feel as though they are gently drifting underwater, surrounded by bioluminescent organisms and rhythmic patterns of life unseen by the naked eye.

Part of my ongoing ‘Aquatic Series’, this painting explores the parallels between the infinite and the infinitesimal — the big and the tiny, the sea and the molecule — celebrating beauty, fragility, and wonder. It is an artwork designed to spark joy, curiosity, and quiet contemplation for years to come.
