Abstract Prints of Light, Waves and Shoreline

‘I sought a conversation with a familiar place, where light and motion could speak in a language beyond clarity. In the blur of dawn, I found a moment where everything was moving, and nothing was still.’

Paul Foley’s Liquid Light series offers a contemplative exploration of the interplay between water, light, and movement. Captured at Balmoral Beach, Sydney, these abstract photographs transcend traditional seascape imagery, immersing viewers in a fluid dance of form and light.

In works like Liquid Light #33 and Liquid Light #52, Foley employs slow shutter speeds and deliberate camera motion to transform the shoreline into a surreal tapestry of flowing textures and luminous hues. The resulting images evoke a sense of dreamlike fluidity, where the boundaries between water, rock, and sky dissolve into a harmonious blur.

Through this series, Paul Foley invites viewers to experience the ephemeral beauty of the natural world through a lens of abstraction and introspection. Each photograph serves as a meditation on the transient nature of light and water, offering a space for reflection and connection with the ever-changing rhythms of the earth.

Foley’s prints invite tactile and visual engagement, emphasising their presence as lasting works of art. Each photograph is produced to museum-grade standards, ensuring beauty and longevity. Printed on heavyweight Cotton Rag Paper, they carry a tactile, archival quality that enhances their presence.  Limited to five or fewer numbered prints, each edition comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.  In Australia, prints can be framed with acid-free materials, FSC-certified timber shadowbox frames, and museum-grade plexiglass, or supplied rolled for custom framing.
