Coastal Cliff captures the shifting energy of the Australian coastline through layered colour and simplified form. Rolling headlands are broken into rhythmic shapes, where deep greens, sea blues, and sunlit ochres collide, echoing the movement of wind, water, and terrain. The stylised clouds and glowing moon add a quiet, almost dreamlike atmosphere, suggesting a moment suspended between day and night.
Influenced by contemporary landscape abstraction and the bold colour sensibility of Australian modernists, the work draws on the visual language of places like the Great Ocean Road and coastal escarpments. There’s a nod to artists such as Fred Williams in the flattened perspective and patterning, alongside a more playful, intuitive approach to colour and composition. The result is a landscape that feels both familiar and reimagined—less about a specific location, and more about the feeling of standing on the edge of land, looking out to sea.
