Moonlit Waves Block Print | 11" x 14"

“Moonlit Waves” — 11 × 14 Block Print
A serene and evocative hand-carved block print capturing the peaceful beauty of the ocean at night. The composition features a solitary figure floating or swimming among gently rolling waves, beneath a quiet full moon. A graceful seabird rises from the horizon, adding a sense of freedom and movement to the tranquil scene.
A large palm leaf sweeps into the composition from the upper right, framing the water and creating a tropical, coastal atmosphere. The rich plum-purple background beautifully contrasts with the soft, natural paper-colored carved lines, giving the artwork a dreamlike quality.
The rhythmic, flowing lines of the waves create a sense of continuous movement, while the moon and distant bird introduce stillness and serenity. Together, these elements evoke a feeling of peace, solitude, escape, and connection to nature.
The visible variations and textures created during the printing process add to the character and authenticity of this handmade relief print.
