Dramatic and dynamic fantasy scene by Russell R. Tripp (American, 1942-2025). This piece depicts a warrior atop a luminous, winged steed, poised to strike a monstrous sea serpent amid crashing waves. The artist balances movement and tension, using bold contrasts of light and shadow to heighten the scene’s intensity. The detailed rendering of armor, musculature, and fluid water convey a sense of power, while the stormy sky and rugged cliffs enhance the epic atmosphere.
