Before the storm

This original acrylic painting on canvas captures the intense and dramatic mood of a seascape just before a storm. The scene is dominated by deep purple tones, with ominous, swirling clouds gathering in the sky. A narrow stripe of twilight breaks through between the clouds and the frozen before the storm sea, casting a fleeting light across the horizon. In the foreground, seagulls are depicted in flight, their white strokes stark against the stormy backdrop. The painting conveys a powerful sense of anticipation and the raw energy of nature, with the contrast between the darkening sky and the last light of day creating a striking visual tension. This artwork vividly portrays the beauty and drama of the sea in the moments before a storm unleashes its full force.
