about

New painting by visual artist Alejandro Otaola is the culmination of months of experimentation around a narrative subject, in cooperation with an esteemed mentor in abstract expressionism.

Subject -The Wave- has been a reoccurring theme in Alejandro’s dreams for the past year, which clash a biblical force barreling from the horizon. These dreams are unusual in their vivid and consistent characteristics, featuring a storm at sunset, a beautiful woman, and a wave big enough to swallow a building on the coast.

This piece came to be after extensive work in developing a visual language to portrays narrative stories, in a dynamic, elegant and organic fashion, toeing the line between abstraction and a traditional story. Featuring a strong crashing wave, pushed by the strength in color pallet which play on the light of sunset, the depth of the sea and overwhelming power of nature.
