Metal structure; papier-mâché; mineral and sculptural compounds on canvas.
170 × 110 cm — 2025
A metallic blue form that rises like an ocean swell. The sand-lined edge connects water and shore, capturing movement in a single gesture.
“Swell” is a large-scale textured wall sculpture that captures the tension just before an ocean wave breaks. A vibrant metallic blue surface defines the piece, evoking the depth and intensity of the sea, while its organic relief forms suggest a wave in the process of forming—held in a moment of suspended energy.
The contour is edged with natural beach sand, introducing a tactile contrast that grounds the work in physical landscape and material memory. This interplay between the luminous blue surface and raw sand creates a dialogue between fluidity and earth, movement and stillness.
Light interacts dynamically with the textures, enhancing depth and shifting the perception of the piece throughout the day. Created by Paloma Rocha, “Swell” bridges abstraction and nature, offering a bold yet refined sculptural presence. It is a statement work for collectors, architects, and designers seeking contemporary wall art that balances intensity, elegance, and organic form.
