PAPAT 10th Anniversary International Pastelist Special Exhibition
Introduction
It showcases the energy and rhythm of ocean waves erupting in an instant, a poetic creation that crystallizes natural dynamics onto a static canvas. Julie Freeman meticulously illustrates the moment of water surging and foam splashing using pastel media, capturing the tension of the ocean as it silently builds and releases power.
This piece not only depicts a natural phenomenon but also symbolizes the rhythm of life and the fluctuations of emotion. The waves resemble human inner emotions, sometimes turbulent and overwhelming, sometimes gentle and receding. Freeman, through the interplay of light and water colors, imparts a sense of flowing rhythm to the image, allowing viewers to almost feel the sea breeze and the sound of water.
This is not merely a depiction of the sea but a visual meditation on the forces of nature and the rhythm of the soul.
