About the Item
The Big Wave is a unique ink on black Clairefontaine paper painting by contemporary artist Franco Salas Borquez, dimensions are 70 × 100 (27.6 × 39.4). It is sold framed under an anti-reflective museum glass and the framed dimensions are 80 x 110 cm (31.5 x 43.3 in).
The artwork is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Franco Salas Borquez has a close relationship with the sea, since this natural element represents much more than a landscape for him. Hailing from a family of sailors that he sometimes accompanied to sea, he has experienced just how powerful the ocean can be, and his desire to paint it is fuelled by fear just as much as by fascination.
Focusing his artistic research on the gesture, the artist paints the waves using an intuitive but rigorous hand to achieve the same degree of fluidity as the sea. Thus his artworks, thanks to the effect of realism, reproduce the same sensation that comes from contemplating nature.

Franco Salas Borquez
Franco Salas Borquez’works depict the sea, the sole subject of his paintings. The artist paints the waves using an intuitive but rigorous hand to achieve the same degree of fluidity as the sea. Thus, his artworks, thanks to the effect of realism, reproduce the same sensation that comes from contemplating nature. His works are now exhibited in museums collections and in numerous international galleries and fairs. He received an award from Spain’s Institute for Maritime History and Culture in 2010, and another one from the Paris Marine Museum in 2011 and 2014. “The sea is ultimately a fairly limited subject, but I like to play with these limits, it fascinates me. It’s like a game of chess where the board has 24 pieces, but there are infinite possibilities of combinations.”
