Untitled, n.d.
oil on canvas
15 x 20 ½ in. (38 x 52 cm)

This atmospheric composition evokes an expansive natural environment in which sea, sky, and ice-like terrain dissolve into one another. Executed in soft tonal transitions of white, blue, and violet, the surface is characterised by fluid, sweeping brushwork that generates a sense of boundless spatial continuity.

The artist employs an impressionistic and gestural approach, privileging atmosphere over detail. Layered pigment and diffused light effects create a painterly surface that emphasises mood and spatial ambiguity rather than descriptive specificity.

The work reflects a contemplative engagement with landscape tradition, resonating with both Western seascape painting and Chinese ink landscape aesthetics in its emphasis on atmosphere, emptiness, and perceptual openness.

The painting is in good condition. Provenance: documentation can be provided upon request.
