Giles Ward's "Over Here I" presents a vibrant seahorse rendered in a striking combination of oil and acrylic on board. The creature, depicted in luminous oranges, pinks and corals, stands out dramatically against a deep turquoise background. Ward's technique captures the seahorse's distinctive anatomical features—its curled tail, spiny projections, and characteristic snout—with both accuracy and artistic flair. Small splashes of white and red paint dance around the subject, creating a sense of movement and underwater atmosphere. The artist's masterful use of texture and colour brings this marine subject to life, evoking both the delicacy and resilience of these fascinating creatures.
Bringing Nature Indoors
The modest scale of this artwork (63 x 43 cm framed) creates an intimate viewing experience that draws the observer into the seahorse's underwater world. When displayed on a wall, "Over Here I" becomes a captivating focal point that introduces a splash of marine colour and life to any interior space. The vibrant palette and subject matter make this piece particularly effective in contemporary settings, where it creates a striking visual counterpoint to neutral décor. Ward's celebration of marine life reminds us of the beauty and fragility of our oceans, inviting a moment of connection with the natural world each time one passes by this charming, characterful portrait.
