STUDY PAINTINGS : EXPLORING MOVEMENT ALONG THE BALINESE COAST

These studies are a reflection about my recent 2-months trip in Bali. They travelled with me to every little town, along the coast and thought the mountains. I drew them while listening to music, ocean waves and sometimes just pure silence. I was very inspired by the state of flow I could feel while being in constant movement and spending countless hours in the water.

 

I also spent a lot of time diving and exploring wildlife that lies beneath the waves. For each dive, I tried to captivate every detail. I took mentally notes about sounds, textures and overall feelings. I really wonder how can this moment be translated into a texture and can it be eventually properly articulated in one painting? A question I tried to answer through those study paintings on paper.
