Detailed description
Picture "surfing the volcano" (1999)
When the elemental forces of the sea and the volcano meet, a spectacle begins that could not be more dramatic and dynamic. The deep blue of the sea and the red glowing hot lava rock dance around each other, while steam and sky blue merge and the cooled rock draws its dark lines. "Surfing the volcano" attempts to capture this spectacle with its heavily impastoed application of paint and bold colors against the soft blue sky. It is a color- and form-intensive oil painting that seeks to tame and capture the elemental force of the event with its sublime application of paint and dark blue frame. The comparison with surfing in the title lends the dramatic events a sporting lightness.
