Introducing Seafoam Blue, the first piece in the Seafoam Collection by Iryna Turliai. Inspired by the stunning hues of the Caribbean waters in the Bahamas, this mixed media on canvas painting measures 45 by 45 inches and features sand texture from South Beach in Miami, capturing the beauty of the ocean in a unique way.

Genesis embodies the explosive moment of creation — a surge of energy where motion and light ignite into being. On a 36 × 60 inch canvas, layers of turquoise, indigo, and flashes of coral erupt across the surface, capturing the raw vitality of emergence. Textural depth, built with natural sand from Miami’s South Beach, grounds the composition while amplifying its dynamic force. Genesis is not just an image of movement, but a meditation on beginnings — the origin of something powerful, alive, and eternal.

Part of the Immersion Series, “Siren” captures the allure of the mythical siren—beauty that is both irresistible and dangerous. Textured with real South Beach sand, the wave’s rising vortex becomes a sculptural pull, drawing you in with a sense of inevitability. The piece pulls you toward its luminous center capturing the suspended moment where calm turns to intensity, and seduction becomes surrender.

Part of the Immersion Series, Reef Lily was inspired by the soft bloom of Curaçao coral gardens. It echoes the rising, petal-like forms of reefs—luminous, intricate, and increasingly fragile. A tribute to their beauty and the delicate balance beneath our waters.

The Seafoam Blue Hole captures the natural wonder of the Blue Hole off the coast of Belize in a 48 by 48 mixed media painting. Created by artist Iryna Turliai, the artwork features sand texture sourced from South Beach in Miami and showcases the circular movement of water in beautiful shades of blue and turquoise. This stunning piece is a true reflection of the captivating beauty of the ocean.

Inception captures the first moment of becoming — where form begins to emerge from motion. On a 36 × 60 inch canvas, layers of turquoise, indigo, and white intersect in sweeping arcs, suggesting pathways taking shape from fluidity. Textured with natural sand from Miami’s South Beach, the work balances openness with structure, echoing the transition from possibility into presence. As a counterpart to Genesis, Inception is a meditation on beginnings — not the eruption of force, but the quiet alignment that gives creation its direction.

Part of the Immersion Series, “Light Dance” reveals an underwater world where sunbeams dance between layered pigments, South Beach sand, and subtly embedded coral forms, creating a luminous underwater world where light, texture, and hidden organic structures move together in quiet rhythm.

The recent project, Seafoam Green, is a stunning painting from the Seafoam Collection. Inspired by the beautiful colors seen while flying over Ambergris Cay in Belize, this 45 by 45 inch painting reflects the movement of the water, mesmerizing hues of turquoise and green, and a unique texture made from sand from South Beach in Miami. This project is a showcase of artistic talent and innovative techniques.

Ignition channels the explosive spark where force and fire converge — a moment of pure energy taking flight. On a 48 × 48 inch canvas, vivid layers of crimson, magenta, and violet collide in radiant bursts, igniting the surface with intensity and motion. The textured pigments build a sense of heat and velocity, as if color itself were combusting into form. This work is not a quiet beginning, but a fierce acceleration — the instant when passion surges into unstoppable momentum, propelling creation into being.

Part of the Immersion Series, "Surge" captures the instant a rising wave pills you inward with its gathering force. Layered pigments and South Beach sand create a tactile vertical sweep that immerses the viewer inside the water's climb. A study of momentum, lift, and the ocean's instinctive push towards the light.
