Description: This dynamic coastal painting by Fanch Lel captures the drama of the sea with expressive brushstrokes and a bold palette. A tall white lighthouse stands sentinel on a rocky outcrop, far in the distance, surrounded by churning waves and jagged cliffs. Spray from a crashing wave bursts in the foreground, animated with quick dabs of white paint, giving the scene a vivid sense of movement and energy. The composition is built from layers of textured oil, with rust-orange and ochre rocks contrasting against the cooler sea blues and stormy greys of the sky. Lel’s handling of paint reflects his impressionist sensibility—prioritising atmosphere and energy over fine detail, with each stroke contributing to the powerful emotional presence of the scene. The lighthouse, a symbol of safety and navigation, anchors the otherwise wild seascape. Its vertical form provides a focal point amid the sweeping horizontal expanse of ocean and sky. In the distance, a few sails catch the light, hinting at passing vessels that connect man with nature’s elemental force. This is an ideal piece for collectors who appreciate nautical art, coastal landscapes, or artworks depicting lighthouses and the sea. It would make a striking addition to any coastal home, gallery wall, or collector’s display of marine impressionism.
