Yves Decaudan - Silhouette sur l'onde

Marine painting 'Silhouette on the wave' - 2025
The painting is a work with a very dark and contrasted atmosphere. The treatment of reflections is both poetic and dynamic. It is not a faithful reflection, but an interpretation of light that suggests the movement of water and creates an almost magical or unreal ambiance. The wave becomes almost a living organism, a series of streaks of light. 'Silhouette sur l'onde' is a powerful and evocative piece that uses stark contrast and stylized light treatment to capture the mysterious and contemplative atmosphere of a nocturnal nautical scene.
