First Light After the Storm

Collection: Alex’s Art

An abstract oil painting of the ocean just after a powerful storm, when the sea is still wild but beginning to calm. Huge waves rise and curl in deep cobalt and ultramarine blues, their movement captured with thick, sweeping palette-knife strokes that show the last bursts of energy fading into rhythm. In the center, a burst of warm light in creamy whites, soft golds, and amber marks the first ray of sun breaking through the clouds. This light spills across the surface of the water, turning spray into glowing fragments and reflecting in layered patches of turquoise and teal. Darker blues and hints of black linger at the edges, suggesting the storm that has only just passed. The painting holds a balance between power and peace—the charged, restless ocean settling under the softening sky—becoming a visual metaphor for resilience and the quiet, hopeful moment when chaos begins to give way to calm.
