In this vertical composition, Costa merges the transparency of watercolor with the structural weight of acrylic to explore the structural bones of the outdoors. The work moves away from literal representation, instead focusing on the organic flow of color and the way light settles into the recesses of a valley or the crest of a hill. By balancing watery washes with deliberate marks, the artist captures the shifting energy of a terrain that feels both ancient and fleeting.

There is a profound sense of stillness in how the pigments bleed and settle, mimicking the natural sedimentation of the earth itself. The abstract approach invites a personal reading of the horizon, where the distinction between soil, shadow, and sky becomes a matter of tonal depth. It is a piece that honors the wildness of nature by stripping away the noise, leaving only the essential colors of the land.
