CALM SEA
1978, 40x60cm, Glossy oil on canvas
A calm sea at sunset with beautiful colors. A flight of seagulls, an anchor, and a flask of wine invite the wanderer to rest for the night on this beach, sheltered by the rocks.
The work “Calm Sea,” created in 1978 with glossy oil on canvas, captures the beauty and serenity of a sunset over the sea, transforming the scene into an invitation to inner peace and contemplation.
Composition and atmosphere:
The sky is tinged with delicate golden, pink, and orange hues, reflecting the warm light of the sun that is lowering on the horizon. The sea, with its gentle waves in shades of green and blue, breaks softly on the shore, creating a harmonious contrast with the golden yellow of the sand. The rocks emerge from the waters like ancient guardians of the coast, illuminated by the sun’s rays that enhance their shapes and textures.
A group of seagulls in flight crosses the sky, adding movement and freedom to the scene, while symbolic elements on the beach — an abandoned anchor, a flask of wine — suggest a silent story: the rest of a traveler, a sailor who has found a moment of respite from his navigation.
A refuge for the soul:
The arrangement of elements creates a sense of intimacy and protection, as if the bay hidden among the rocks were a safe place to stop for the night. The anchor, a symbol of stability, and the flask of wine, a sign of refreshment and company, suggest a moment of pause and reflection, an invitation to abandon oneself to the beauty of nature.
Conclusion:
With its skillful use of colors and light, the artist conveys a sense of profound peace and freedom, making this scene not only a representation of nature, but also an opportunity for the observer to immerse themselves in a place of dream and tranquility. A painting that invites one to stop, breathe, and be lulled by the sea and time.
