This richly layered abstract evokes the gentle, mesmerizing motion of an octopus gliding through the sea. While purely abstract, the flowing forms suggest the trailing tentacles of this mysterious creature, as if caught mid-drift in a sunlit tide.
 
The background is a soft interplay of whites, creams, subtle oranges, and muted aquas—like light filtering through shallow coastal waters. The “tentacles,” rendered in deep indigos, soft sea-greens, blue-greys, and hints of apricot and gold, meander down the page in fluid, elegant motion.
 
Dotting and linework trail along these forms—creams, whites, and sun-warmed oranges layered delicately to echo natural markings, bubbles, or underwater shimmer. Fine white lines move like currents, adding energy and rhythm throughout the piece.
 
Tideborne Whispers invites the viewer to pause and sink into the magic of the ocean’s quieter stories—those told in shape, texture, and movement.
