Adamastor in the Kingdom of Neptune was created as an interpretation of the mythical protector of the seas, an embodiment of godly might and wrath, from the epic story written by the renowned Portuguese poet, Luis de Camões. When the Portuguese tried to cross unknown waters into the Indian Ocean during the Age of Discovery, they encountered an area of immense storms at the Cape of Good Hope which was believed to be reigned by an angry God or a monster in the Kingdom of Neptune that sunk the fleet's caravels: The Adamastor. 
 
In this painting Nella created a dramatic and beautiful seascape representation of a sea in a storm with the cloudy sky and waves crashing on the rocks. It's a semi-abstract using techniques of loose strokes and palette knife to create texture suggesting the appearance of rocks in the sea.
