Silent Currents by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

45.0 x 35.0 cm

Silent Currents is an oil pastel work by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson that reflects on the quiet presence of clean energy within a coastal environment. Inspired by offshore wind farms, the composition transforms wind turbines into rhythmic, almost calligraphic structures rising from the water, their reflections dissolving gently across the surface below. The palette of deep blues, turquoise, and muted violets evokes both sea and sky, while expressive, gestural marks suggest movement, balance, and interconnected systems. The repeated vertical forms create a sense of order and continuity, yet remain softened by the fluidity of the water, emphasizing harmony between human innovation and the natural world. Rather than presenting a literal depiction of windmills, the work offers a contemplative vision of renewable energy as part of a living landscape—quiet, sustainable, and integrated. It invites reflection on the future of energy, stewardship of the environment, and the evolving relationship between technology and nature.
