Description:

Wyland’s Splash 171 is a striking abstract watercolor composition that captures the energy and fluidity of water through bold, dynamic brushstrokes. Using a palette dominated by deep blues against a stark white background, Wyland employs an expressive, almost action-painting technique, reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism. The splashes and drips evoke the power of the ocean, a recurring theme in Wyland’s artistic journey.

The organic movement in Splash 171 gives the impression of waves crashing, marine life in motion, or water in its most untamed state. The deckle edge paper enhances the raw, natural quality of the piece, making it not just a painting, but an experience of the ocean’s essence on canvas.
