The background is a wave breaking from the left to the right side of the canvas, known as the 'left' wave, which gives the work its title. In this piece I wanted to give a little wink to the childish part of all of us, using the medium of the sea and surfing as a discourse where 'Goofy' has its own meaning.

In surfing jargon, entering one of these wonders of nature that the sea gives us is also called entering the green room, and this is the metaphor I wanted to represent in my work, taking it to the limit. The architectural concept of 'space' merges with this other idea in a single image. In it we see figurative elements such as walls, floor or ceiling, but if we start to look more closely, the wallpaper on the wall already announces that we are in a maritime environment, the curtains become the foam of the waves and finally, on the front wall, the main element where man and nature merge. The surfer is blind at this point and the only eye we can see is actually that of the sea, allowing her to enjoy this moment bathed in a warm ray of sunlight that crosses the canvas.

We could say that an aerial is when a surfer rises above the waves, taking advantage of inertia, and for a few moments 'flies' over the sea, glued to his board. For me, this moment is truly extraordinary and I wanted to capture it in this evocative image, where different geometric planes form a physical frame of triangular shapes representing different states of the sky. Two curved lines converge to create the shape of the table, and in particular the coral line, which has more weight, represents the upward direction of movement. The central element, a deconstruction of pieces that refer to the body, and in the upper part of it 3 faces, 3 expressions that want to represent the different emotions that the protagonist feels at this moment.
In the lower right-hand corner of the canvas, some folded planes evoke the sea, which places the main subject of the composition, flying over it, at the same height as the birds on either side.

The composition is divided into three distinct sections. The first, located in the top right, depicts the conscious individual against a striped background, symbolizing the environment with its daily distractions. Here, the senses, smell, sight, and hearing, are engaged.
The second section, set against an all-white background, represents the creative process at a subconscious level. In this space, we begin to explore our inner world. The senses are no longer needed; the eyes are covered, the mouth is silent, and thoughts start to flow freely.
The third section spans the entire left and lower parts of the composition, symbolizing the platonic world of ideas. In this realm, disordered thoughts flow without restriction, and only through the act of drawing, guided by our hands, can these ideas be shaped and brought into the conscious realm.
