Helen King’s 2 dimensional painting ‘Mudjimba Island’ was created from a digital image of the world class left point break captured by a water photographer.

The work holds special appeal to surfers of the island who are aware of the locations Indigenous spiritual significance which is represented by the passive  blues shaded to a deeper tone towards the calm face of the wave.

Back to the left the tinting of the lip and back spray suggests the raw power and energy of the pitching lip and the brushwork accurately captures the maelstrom of powerful activity at the waves primary energy source.

The original work features a rough texture reminiscent of the actual water surface of the breaking wave.
