Large coastal wall art “Coral Sea Shallows” by Petra Meikle

Coral Sea Shallows is a luminous piece of large coastal wall art inspired by the quiet, glassy shorelines of North Queensland — those long, sweeping beaches where pale sand meets warm teal shallows and the reef begins to reveal its gentle textures beneath the surface. This artwork captures that moment when the tide breathes in softly, leaving calm ribbons of white shore-break drifting across turquoise water.

Created as a premium resin beach art piece, the surface is thick, glossy, and richly three-dimensional. The waves rise subtly from the panel, the rocks stand out with sculptural detail, and the water holds that luminous clarity that resin does best — a depth that feels almost like looking down from a drone over the Coral Coast. From afar the work reads as serene and expansive; up close, it reveals layered pigments, mineral-like textures, and intricate tidal marks shaped through many pours.

This is true aerial ocean artwork, made for modern coastal interiors and homes that want to feel airy, calm, and connected to the sea. The palette moves through soft aqua, teal, jade, and sand — colours chosen to work seamlessly with neutral styling, linen bedding, timber, stone, and warm minimalist décor. Its realism and texture give the room a grounded, quiet luxury presence without ever overpowering the space.

Inspired by the beaches and reef edges of Far North Queensland, Coral Sea Shallows echoes the timeless rhythm of the shoreline — a place where light drifts through water, waves form gentle patterns, and the world feels unhurried. Perfect for bedrooms, contemporary living rooms, beach houses, and architectural spaces that seek tranquillity, coastal elegance, and natural beauty.

🎥 Tip: For the best viewing experience, watch the close-up video of this artwork on YouTube. It’s the best way to see the fine detail, texture, and finish — whether satin, glossy, or resin-coated.

Crafted with intense pigmented inks, this work showcases natural reef-like formations created by the chemical reactions between layered mixed media. It’s a textured coastal wall art piece that brings movement, stillness, and simplicity into perfect balance.

Signed on the side, this artwork is multi-directional and ready to hang. It’s inspired by the ever-changing tides and tranquil waters of the Great Barrier Reef—an environment I’m lucky to call home. I use experimental tools including rods, air guns, blow torches, and gravity to guide the flow, sculpting my paintings with layered materials on board.
