Gaby Acevedo - Mar - Aqualis (XL)

New contemporary abstract work, unique and original, my intention in this painting is to recreate the light, calm, and transparency of the Mediterranean. Painted by hand with acrylic on canvas, I combine a wide sky in soft light-blue tones with a sea of aquamarines, turquoises, and deep blues that suggest the serene movement of the water. The sand-toned stripes bring balance and warmth, subtly evoking the presence of the coast.
A luminous and contemplative piece that conveys serenity, spaciousness, and the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean seascape.

My name is Gaby Acevedo, I am a visual artist, born in Argentina (1972). I live and produce my works in Spain. With more than 25 years of experience, I specialize in abstract art, mixed media, and collage.
