This painting portrays a surreal coastal scene with a large, reddish-brown sky and a dark, textured full moon looming overhead. The sea is turbulent, with powerful waves crashing onto the sandy shore. In the foreground, two large, weathered wooden structures, possibly remnants of an old pier or breakwater, frame the image. These structures are curved and eroded, giving a sense of decay and time passing. Beyond the waves, in the middle distance, the skeletal remains of a ruined pier stand against the horizon. The structure appears abandoned and worn down by the elements. The overall color palette consists of earthy browns, deep oranges, and muted blues, creating a dramatic and moody atmosphere. The painting evokes themes of nature’s power, erosion, and the passage of time.
