Green Blue Coastal Maroubra Sands by Marie Antuanelle – Story & Inspiration in Creating the Work i

“Green Blue Coastal Maroubra Sands” captures the breathtaking beauty and quiet exploration of Sydney’s iconic Maroubra Beach, viewed from above. This piece is inspired by the profound serenity and stillness found in moments of movement, where the world shrinks to the size of two small kayaks gracefully traversing the vast, deep ocean.

The composition focuses on the dramatic interplay between the shallow, jade-green coastline and the deeper, intense teal and indigo waters. This contrast reflects the dualities of life: the safe familiarity of the shore and the quiet adventure found when you push into the unknown. The inclusion of genuine beach sand, personally collected from Maroubra Beach, grounds this abstract view, giving it a tangible connection to the beloved Australian coast. It serves as a visual meditation on the intimacy and calm achieved through personal exploration.

Originality & Materials

This is an Original work, a unique piece created using mixed media with a high-texture application and a sophisticated matte finish.

The work is painted on a premium, gallery-quality stretched canvas. The deep blues, teals, and greens are achieved using deeply pigmented high-flow and heavy-body acrylic paints. Natural sand (sourced from Maroubra Beach) is meticulously integrated into the paint to build the textural dimension of the shallow coast and seabed. The small pink kayaks add a touch of human scale and narrative. The entire surface is sealed with a high-quality, non-reflective matte varnish, ensuring protection against UV damage while giving the piece an elegant, soft finish that enhances the organic textures.
