Original artwork description:

This oil painting captures the raw beauty of the Dutch North Sea coast, a landscape I’ve intimately known for over four decades. The composition embodies the extraordinary sense of vastness found along these shores, where even in summer, one can discover pristine stretches of beach that extend for kilometers.
The painting portrays that magical moment when the summer sun reaches its zenith, bathing the scene in brilliant light. The interplay between the deep hue of the churning sea and the warm, sun-bleached sand creates a dynamic contrast, while dramatic clouds sweep across an azure sky, suggesting the constant presence of the region’s characteristic winds.
Through careful brushwork, I’ve captured the meeting point of elements – where restless waves encounter pristine sand, creating what I call a “symphony of noisy silence.” This natural orchestra of breaking waves and persistent wind invites viewers to experience the immersive quality of this coastal landscape, where one feels deeply connected to the elemental forces of nature.
