Urchins, The Depth Beneath The Waters (2026)Oil painting
by Victoria Horkan

£3,800

Inspired by the structures and rhythms of nature, the work explores what lies beneath the surface — drawing from underwater landscapes, coral formations, and organic growth patterns. Thick sculptural marks rise from the canvas, creating depth and physical presence, while vibrant tones of turquoise, teal, coral pink, crimson, and ochre move rhythmically across the composition.

Rather than depicting nature literally, this painting amplifies its energy — enlarging small, intricate forms and giving them power and scale. The result is a piece that feels alive, immersive, and emotionally resonant, inviting the viewer to slow down and explore the surface in detail.

This artwork is about presence and quiet strength — a balance between chaos and harmony — and is designed to be experienced both visually and physically. The heavily textured surface catches the light differently throughout the day, making it an ever-changing focal point within a space.

Perfect for collectors seeking bold, contemporary abstract art with depth, movement, and substance, this piece works beautifully in modern interiors and curated collections.
