In Blue Splash, Kathleen Stevens conjures a mesmerising vision of water in motion—a symphony of colour and energy that captures the wild, fluid beauty of the sea. The canvas pulses with life, dominated by layered hues of oceanic blue: deep cobalt, electric cerulean, and soft aquamarine swirl together in a dynamic choreography, as if waves are crashing and dissolving into spray before your eyes. There is a palpable sense of movement here—of nature not frozen, but breathing.
Across this aqueous realm, streaks of white and silver leap like crests of foam caught mid-flight, luminous against the richer blues beneath. Fine tendrils of gold and ochre arc gracefully through the scene, tracing paths of light that feel almost celestial—echoes of sunlight dancing across the surface of a tide pool, or the glint of something sacred just beneath the waves.
Interwoven through this aquatic dreamscape are black calligraphic lines—impulsive and alive—evoking both the hidden currents beneath the surface and the visceral rhythm of marine life. Their jagged spontaneity contrasts beautifully with the sweeping gestures of the background, grounding the composition with an undertone of mystery and depth. In places, circular motifs echo bubbles or bioluminescent organisms, giving the work a cosmic, almost microscopic dimension.
The result is an abstract seascape that blurs the line between the ocean and the stars—a place where liquid becomes light, and sound becomes colour. Blue Splash invites you to dive inward, to experience the ocean not just as water, but as a sensation, a pulse, a state of being. Stevens captures not the form of the sea, but its soul.
