Drift & Tide – Abstract Acrylic & Gesso Painting
Inspired by a recent trip to the vibrant shores of Mexico, Drift & Tide is a textured abstract painting that captures the serene wonder of tropical sea life. Created with layers of acrylic and sculpted gesso, this piece brings depth and movement to the canvas—evoking the delicate, mesmerizing drift of a jellyfish dancing through clear, teal waters.
 
Soft blues, lush greens, and aquatic-inspired hues form a harmonious palette that reflects Mexico’s natural beauty—from sky to sea to shimmering reefs. The textured gesso elements add a dimensional, tactile quality that invites you to experience the artwork beyond the visual—a gentle reminder of how immersive and peaceful the ocean can be.
 
Pair Drift & Tide with our unframed watercolor abstracts (available at Paper Cucos) for a wall that breathes life, color, and the calming energy of a faraway island paradise. A true escape in every glance.
