Crosswinds: Ships of the Ancients
A Black and White Journey Through Forgotten Waters In Crosswinds, sails billow in silence and ancient timbers groan with memory. This black and white series breathes life into long-lost vessels — Viking ships, island canoes, and Madagascan traders — each etched into the wind-blown echoes of time. Devoid of color, the monochrome palette strips the noise away, revealing the raw essence of these ships: their solitude, their strength, their ghosts. Each piece is a meditation on exploration, resilience, and the eternal dialogue between man and sea. These aren’t just ships. They are witnesses — to storms weathered, worlds discovered, and the crosswinds that carried entire civilizations forward.
"Summer"
Size 100cm x 100cm
Once they sailed with purpose — now they rest, half-buried in sand and silence. This piece captures a forgotten hull, weather-beaten and broken, but still holding the shape of a dream. Decay isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of legend.
"Autumn"
Size 100cm x 100cm
Island ships moved with rhythm — with ocean currents and salt-sweet trade winds. This artwork is a tribute to those long-lost sea paths and the souls who sailed them. There is myth in every mast.
"Winter"
Size 100cm x 100cm
The Teeth of the North Wind Inspired by Viking drakkars, this piece honors the sharp silhouettes and primal energy of Norse seafaring legends. Each line is a whisper of conquest, courage, and cold wind against carved wood. Black and white. Chaos and control.
"Spring"
Size 100cm x 100cm
Before the nets, before the wind—there’s a moment of silence. This piece honors that stillness: the breath between hope and the deep. Drawn in stark black and white, it’s a tribute to those who cast their faith into the unknown.
"Islander"
Size 100cm x 196cm
Before the creak of wood, before the cry of gulls — there is silence. The kind that holds memory like salt in its breath. This piece captures that hush: the stillness of a ship, the calm before the past speaks.
"Cruise"
Size 100cm x 196cm
Some ships sailed not for war or trade, but to observe — quiet sentinels of the deep. This piece captures their stillness, their watchful presence beneath a sky of forgotten gods.
"HULLS"
Size 120cm x 100cm
