Subject & Meaning

The painting depicts a rugged coastline where layered cliffs meet deep blue water. Earthy tones of brown, red, and green dominate the rocky landscape.

Steriadi employed the impasto technique, applying thick layers of paint to create a textured surface that echoes the roughness of the cliffs. The heavy brushstrokes and raised paint give the rocks a three-dimensional appearance.
