Large resin ocean artwork “Deep Blue Sanctuary” by Petra Meikle

Deep Blue Sanctuary is a large resin ocean artwork inspired by the deep, quiet waters of the Great Barrier Reef — those places where the reef shelf falls away into rich indigo and cobalt blue. From above, pale sandbanks dissolve softly into deeper channels, and the shoreline rests in a state of calm, untouched stillness.

This is luxury coastal wall art designed to bring a sense of depth, atmosphere, and serenity into a space. The palette moves from soft turquoise shallows to deep ocean blue, with subtle gold reef formations surfacing through the layers like tide-worn coral and sun-lit rock beneath clear water. It has presence — not loud or demanding — but grounded, expansive, and quietly powerful.

The resin surface creates a luminous clarity and glass-like depth, allowing light to move across the work throughout the day. From across the room, the artwork reads as a sanctuary of ocean calm. Up close, intricate textures and tidal details emerge — like reef shelves revealed when the tide slips away.

As a resin abstract painting, it works particularly well in spaces designed for retreat, restoration, and reflection: bedroom walls, living rooms overlooking the coast, architectural interiors, and quiet luxury spaces with natural materials such as timber, linen, stone, and soft neutral tones.

🎥 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.
To view it clearly, switch your YouTube settings to 1080p HD (click the ⚙️ icon). This allows you to see the true colour depth, sheen, and layered surface just as it appears in person.

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.
