About Fluorescent Sea

The artwork titled “Fluorescent Sea” was created by the artist M.C. Escher in the year 1933. It falls within the Surrealism art movement and belongs to the marina genre.

The artwork depicts a serene nocturnal seascape rendered primarily in monochrome shades. The sea appears almost translucent under the night sky, with white lines tracing the contours of the waves and breaking surf, giving them an ethereal glow. The sea appears calm yet dynamic as the waves roll gently towards the shore. The upper portion of the scene displays a star-studded sky, which contrasts beautifully with the darker tones of the ocean below. The overall composition suggests a tranquil, almost otherworldly marine landscape, highlighting Escher’s mastery in creating intricate and thought-provoking works.
