Breaking Through
by Nicky Knill-Jones

Acrylic on canvas 
Size: 76 x 76cm  

Breaking Through is a compelling and atmospheric seascape that captures the elemental drama of the Cornish coast. With sweeping, expressive brushstrokes and a palette dominated by stormy greys, deep blues, and subtle sandy hues, the artist evokes the raw energy of waves meeting land beneath a brooding sky. 

The composition is rich with movement and texture. The sea churns with intensity, its surface alive with motion, while the misty horizon blurs the boundary between ocean and sky, lending the piece a sense of mystery and depth. In the foreground, warm earth tones peek through the cool palette, grounding the scene and offering a quiet counterpoint to the dynamic surf. 

This painting is a celebration of nature’s power and beauty—unpredictable, untamed, and deeply evocative. Ideal for collectors who appreciate coastal landscapes with emotional resonance, Breaking Through brings the spirit of the sea into any space with bold elegance.
