Examining up close "stormy seas", one faces an agitated sea that seems to challenge the canvas itself, a storm that evokes both majesty and danger. Aivazovsky, faithful to his style, uses a color palette with predominance of deep blue and green tones, accentuated by sparkling whites that accentuate the strength of the waves when breaking. The composition dynamizes the scene, organizing the natural elements in a kind of chaotic ballet, where each wave seems to have its own life, guided by an invisible choreography dictated by the wind.
Lacking human characters or architectural elements that divert attention, the work focuses on the texture and nuances of water in tumult. This approach to pure nature highlights Aivazovsky's ability to evoke deep emotions with a single subject; In this case, the sea is the only protagonist. The viewer's gaze is conducted from the base of the painting, Where the waves seem to be about to leave the frame, to the distant and stormy horizon, which merges into a sky loaded with ominous clouds.

Through delicate contrasts and soft transitions, it manages to communicate the weight and movement of the waves, as well as the translucidity of the water that allows its depth to glimpse. This aquatic realism is complemented by the choice of a low perspective that invites the observer to experience the fierce intensity of the sea from an almost immersive position.
