The artwork, titled “Ocean Splash,” was created by Eyvind Earle in 1991 in the United States. Belonging to the Magic Realism art movement, this marina-themed piece captures an imaginary seascape with a dreamlike quality characteristic of the genre.
The artwork depicts a powerful and stylized ocean wave crashing amidst abstract formations, rendered with a vibrant palette predominantly of blues, greens, and white. The motion of the water is illustrated with a fine sense of rhythm and flow, suggesting both the majesty and fluidity of the sea. Above the wave, delicate branches extend from the upper right corner, creating a dynamic interplay between the terrestrial elements and the aquatic scene below. The overall composition is both dramatic and serene, embodying the fantastical and naturalistic elements central to Magic Realism.
