Wave #1 depicts the force of the Pacific Ocean creating waves over 6 meters high. It shows our vulnerability to the elements and the drastic global changes in the ocean levels and the melting of the ice caps. The painting was rendered with an acrylic underpainting, finished in oils in a light impasto fashion. Inspired by my love for the Pacific Ocean and its power. I spend a year leaving with local fishermen of Huasco, Chile to capture the daily life and the dramatic changes of the sky and ocean during and after the storm has passed. I want the viewer to feel the sense of helplessness, coldness and the perils local fisherman face everytime they go out in their boat's fishing. Many fishermen have lost their lives to these waves and power of the ocean of the northern region of Chile. Perhaps, one of the most seismic zones in Chile. I used acrylics as part of the underpainting to help to speed up the drying time and add texture to the painting. The whole painting was rendered with the palette knife in oils as it is my primary painting medium.

I am a working artist, mostly self-taught with over 30 years art experience, working on a variety of media: Oils on canvas and wood panels; acrylics and mixed medium, in particular, wall paste, sand and epoxy resin. My work can be considered as an impressionist style painting, working in impasto and making use of the palette knife as my main tool. I am currently focusing mainly on painting seascapes and wildlife, I want to master the various skills required to paint with the painting knife, the application of subtle pressure, texture and marks for example. Painting methods I often incorporate people, boats and seabirds as part of my compositions. My aim is to capture the effect of light, colour, form and movement. Recently, I have been investigating surrealist or semi-surrealist painting based on dreams and working on abstract figurative sculptures with Plaster of Paris and other materials.
