Original acrylic plein air painting “Cascais” is a direct response to the Atlantic coast in Portugal, painted on location while observing the movement of waves and shifting light. This work focuses on the feeling of standing by the ocean — the tension between water and rock, the constant motion, and the unpredictability of the sea. Built with expressive, layered brushstrokes on board, the painting captures the energy of crashing waves, deep ocean blues, and earthy tones of the coastline, balanced by a soft, atmospheric sky.
Created as part of an ongoing exploration of plein air painting and contemporary seascapes, this piece reflects an immediate and intuitive process, where each mark responds to what is seen and felt in the moment. This original artwork is suitable for collectors of coastal art, ocean paintings, expressive landscape art, and modern impressionist seascapes, bringing the atmosphere of Cascais, Portugal into an interior space.
