This painting captures the quiet rhythm of the sea, where graphite-gray sky and water merge in a hushed expanse. The horizon feels suspended in time — not stormy, but weighted with the calm that lingers before or after nature’s unrest. A solitary cliff edge, veined with rusty red and ochre, breaks the stillness, its presence echoing against the muted blues and grays. The interplay of ash-like tones and earthen warmth speaks of retreat and remembrance — the soft rhythm of the tide, the echoes of the memory.
