When you’re on a ship, a porthole will show you spectacular views of life at sea.
As a self-taught artist, Stevens learned how to paint through YouTube videos, including tutorials byBob Ross.
Eventually, his interest in the sea translated to his art.
Ive always loved the water.
It brings a sort of peace and fears all at the same time.
I thought a physical porthole acting as the frame would increase the illusion.
Its light reflects on the waves in the foreground, which are moving serenely across the horizon.
In addition to his depictions of seascapes, Stevens also creates landscapes inspired by his surroundings.
Everything around me [is an inspiration], he continues.
I love finding the beauty in everyday scenes, such as barns or fields.
North Carolina-based artist Adam Stevens mounted his striking painting of the sea inside of a porthole.
He created a circular oil depiction of the stormy sea and framed it inside a genuine porthole.
