About the artwork

"Hand in hand with the sea" is a digital artwork that captures the essence of connection and freedom in a summer scene. In the centre of the image, we see a girl and a boy, hand in hand, standing in the shallow surf of an endless sea. The sun is high in the sky, casting a warm glow across the surface of the water, surrounding the children with sparkling brilliance.

Their posture radiates confidence and simplicity - they look towards the horizon, as if they are facing the future together. Maybe they are brother and sister, maybe friends, or just soulmates on a summer's day. There is no backdrop, no beach chairs, no tourists. Just them, the sea, and the light.

The colours are soft but vibrant: bright blue of the sky, deep turquoise of the water, and subtle skin tones that light up under the sun. The artwork breathes tranquillity, but also evokes memories of youthful adventure and the longing for something bigger.

The absence of distractions invites the viewer to lose himself in the simplicity of the moment. The sea acts as a symbol of infinity and movement, while the joined hands suggest stability and love.

"Hand in hand with the sea" is not just an image, it is a feeling - of summer, of togetherness, and of the uninhibited confidence that anything is possible.
