In this artwork, the metaphorical sea's turbulence (Antimamalos in Greek) is conveyed through torn cast paper, glazed with deep blacks, rusty browns, and brilliant orange-reds. The richly textured layers evoke the roughness of vulcanic coastlines and the profound depth of ancient caves, drawing on the dramatic intensity of Baroque art and the bold, free forms of Abstract Expressionism. This artwork resonates with the duality of serenity and turmoil, capturing the essence of a secluded cove. It recalls the cove of Chalkos on the Island of Kythira, Greece, where this artwork was created.
