Sahil Roy's 'Refraction' isn't a picture, it's a feeling. It captures Shellharbour Village with textured waves, swirling colours, and bold and gestural strokes. Blues and purples evoke the ocean's endless depths, while the dynamic movements across the canvas portray the constant interplay between the village, the sea, and the sky.

It is a work of contrasts, where tranquility meets the untamed wilderness of the water's edge. 

Sahil invites the viewer to be the conductor; the lack of a fixed form is an open invitation to craft your own interpretation, to weave your personal memories and experiences of Shellharbour Village into the vibrant canvas. Forget a literal image - Sahil lets you create your own.

Sahil Roy is a renowned multi-disciplinary artist and designer from Melbourne. With a creative foundation as a graffiti artist spanning over a decade, the transition into an abstract approach has allowed Roy to explore an entirely new avenue of style and creative self-expression.

His now signature layering processes enable him to capture his own visual narratives, floating through dynamic layers of stylistic introspection.
