Description: Inspired by the 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙦𝙪𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 and 𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙖 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨, this painting aims to abstractly portray oceanic hues and the network of intersecting meridian and parallel lines on a map grid. The goal of this painting is to transport the viewer back to a time and place where they may have been travelling somewhere in the world, perhaps on an adventure whilst by the sea, 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙢 𝙬𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙣. Or to manifest a feeling of the desire to travel again to seek adventure, to 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬, and heal alongside the magical sea shores.

The calculated intersecting meridian and parallel lines aim to portray varying geographical distances across the globe. Parallel lines are the imaginary lines that run from east to west connecting all locations on a map. Meridians or longitudes are also imaginary lines on the Earth’s surface that run up and down from the two poles. The solid bold and bright tropical geometric hues aim to emulate the different colours that one may see when by the sea shore. The base colour “Ocean Breeze” was chosen to emulate the perfect sunset ocean wave hues that glisten alongside the sun-kissed sandy shores, which is portrayed using light "Coral Pink”.
