If No. 1 was the coral, No. 2 is the creature who lives in it.
Deep in a churning sea of emerald, teal, and indigo, a flash of fire — a curled, armored seahorse, rendered in molten coral red, burnt orange and rust — twists upward. You see the arched back, the tucked tail, the tiny crowned head almost hidden in the paint. It's camouflaged, just like a real sea horse in a reef, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.
The texture is everything here — layered, scraped, and poured, like water moving fast over a shallow reef on a windy day. That bright lime-yellow burst in the upper left is sunlight hitting the surface, a little beacon. The deep greens wrap around the red form protectively, like sea grass.
Together with No. 1, it tells the story: the reef and its hidden resident. Small in scale — intimate, jewel-like in that crisp white mat — but with huge presence. These two want to live together on a collector's wall, one on top of the other, or as a pair in a hallway. Tiny originals that feel like treasures found while diving.
Medium: Fluid acrylic on canvas— No. 2 in the Fire Series
Palette: Fire coral red, burnt orange and ochre against deep emerald, turquoise, teal and indigo
Vibe: Marine, mysterious, vibrant — a hidden creature in a vibrant sea.
Dimensions: 16 × 18 × 2
