COASTLINE (2025)

Acrylic on canvas
215 × 140 cm

Coastline distils the Australian landscape into a language of bold geometry and enduring form. A solitary lighthouse rises against an expansive horizon, becoming both a marker of place and a quiet symbol of orientation. Simplified planes of sea, land and sky unfold with architectural clarity, while a restrained palette of deep coastal blues, mineral greens and warm ochres evokes the luminosity of the Australian shoreline.

Balancing graphic confidence with a sense of stillness, Coastline explores the relationship between landscape, memory and shelter. Neither purely representational nor fully abstract, the work invites contemplation of the spaces that guide us home - where architecture, coastline and light converge.
