Where the Wave Meets the Sky

Description

In “Where the Wave Meets the Sky,” the ocean lifts into a sweeping, sculptural curve before dissolving into warm tones of sunrise. Thick, textured layers of oil paint create a dynamic surface that shifts with the light, evoking both the power of a breaking wave and the softness of a glowing horizon.

The composition explores the meeting point between motion and stillness — a moment where water, light, and atmosphere become indistinguishable. The palette transitions from deep blues to warm peach and gold, guiding the viewer from turbulence to tranquillity.

This painting is part of Shazia Naqib’s ongoing seascape series, where emotion, movement, and colour work together to create meditative experiences on canvas.
