About the artwork

The acrylic painting, which originated from a memory of a painting or photograph, radiates a fascinating atmosphere. The predominant blue colouring conveys a deep, calming mood that is harmoniously connected to the surface of the water. This surface of water is interspersed with black islands that look like mysterious spots in the middle of the ocean.

On the distant horizon, a narrow strip of light opens up in the complementary colours of orange, purple and yellow. This stripe provides a remarkable contrast to the blue sea and lends the painting a subtle dynamism. Dark clouds gather above this peaceful seascape, naturally framing the motif.

The lonely building on the hilltop to the left of the picture is particularly striking. It stands isolated and abandoned in the midst of the rugged nature, embodying the vulnerability and exposure of human constructions to elemental forces. Indeed, the man-made work seems small and almost powerless compared to the majestic and uncaring nature.

The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between man and nature. It reminds us how humble and fragile our human constructions are in the midst of mighty nature. At the same time, it expresses a certain reverence for the beauty and ruthlessness of nature, reflected in the cool blue hue and isolated islands. It is a work that encourages the viewer to reflect on the relationship between man and the environment and to maintain humility before nature.
