Beneath the Wake

A hard-fought battle has come to its final moments. Beneath the Wake captures a magnificent blue marlin just after being caught and leadered, gliding alongside the boat beneath a canopy of light, bubbles, and the boat’s fading wake. Rather than focusing on the chaos above the surface, this piece offers the perspective rarely seen—the quiet, powerful presence of one of the ocean’s most iconic game fish in the moments before release.

Created entirely in charcoal and graphite, the artwork emphasizes the marlin’s sleek form, reflective skin, and the movement of light through the water, bringing depth and realism to every detail.

Produced as a museum-quality archival print, Beneath the Wake is designed for anglers, collectors, and anyone drawn to the beauty of offshore sportfishing. Whether displayed in a home, office, marina, or lodge, it serves as a timeless tribute to the respect shared between angler and fish.
