Moonlit Seascape – Isabel Serrahima

Description
Isabel Serrahima’s commanding abstract oil captures the enigmatic beauty of a moonlit seascape through an emotionally charged interplay of texture and color. Dominated by deep indigo and electric cobalt tones, the composition swirls with raw energy, while a glowing, circular form in yellow and white evokes the full moon casting its light over surging red and ochre landforms. Thickly applied paint, sculptural ridges, and spontaneous brushwork create a visceral sense of movement and intensity. Serrahima’s masterful use of impasto and saturated contrasts is both tactile and luminous, conveying the inner resonance of landscape rather than its literal shape. The work reflects the influence of postwar Spanish abstraction, particularly pintura matérica, blending gestural freedom with psychological depth. The overall effect is elemental, poetic, and unmistakably bold—an immersive artwork that commands attention and sparks reflection.
