In Subaquatic Inferno, sky, deep ocean, and earth seem to collide across three textured panels. Pale blues and turquoise fields suggest water and atmosphere, while fiery red, yellow, and orange eruptions rise from darker, mineral-like depths. With its extreme surface texture and dramatic scale, the work feels elemental and theatrical — a charged meeting of sea, land, light, and force.
