Wave Rider Block Print | 11" x 14"

“Wave Rider” — 11 × 14 Block Print
A powerful and dynamic hand-carved block print celebrating the energy, movement, and freedom of surfing. At the center of the composition, a lone surfer rides confidently along the face of a dramatic breaking wave. Towering curls rise above and around the figure, creating a sense of being completely immersed in the power of the ocean.
The artwork features a striking deep navy and vibrant aqua-blue palette, reminiscent of sunlight shimmering across the Atlantic. Bold black forms define the dramatic wave shapes, while hundreds of flowing carved lines create texture and movement throughout the water.
The sweeping curves of the waves lead the eye across the composition, giving the print an almost rhythmic quality. The contrast between the small human figure and the enormous waves emphasizes the power of nature, adventure, balance, and the exhilaration of riding the sea.
The visible variations in ink and carved texture enhance the authentic, handmade quality of this original relief print.
