Ride the Wave - Original Artwork

EXPRESSIVE & VIBRANT ABSTRACT PAINTING

This painting is all about movement—through colour, through life, through whatever comes your way. Painted on raw natural linen, Ride the Wave is a bold, expressive piece that captures the feeling of leaning into life’s ups and downs rather than resisting them. There’s a freedom in that, and it’s something I kept coming back to while painting this one.

The textured linen surface lets each brushstroke breathe. Layers of bright colour—sweeps of blue, soft pinks, sunlit peach, and deeper grounding tones—give the work a rhythm that shifts depending on where you’re standing. Some moments feel light and airy, others more layered and complex. It mirrors what life often feels like: not perfectly neat, but always moving forward.

This large-scale abstract artwork was made in my Perth studio, using instinctive mark-making and a colour palette inspired by the Australian landscape. It’s one of those pieces that holds both energy and stillness at the same time. I can imagine it in a room where people gather, or somewhere quieter—like a bedroom or hallway—where it invites a bit of reflection.

Like all my original paintings, Ride the Wave is hand-painted and one of a kind. It comes professionally framed in Tasmanian oak and ready to hang.

If you’re looking for contemporary Australian abstract art that feels vibrant, intuitive, and grounded in emotion, this might be the piece that speaks to you.
