In this evocative digital creation by Jan Keteleer, we are presented with a scene that juxtaposes the carefree essence of summer against the impending drama of a storm. The painting depicts two girls, companions in adventure, walking side by side towards the calm sea. Despite the serene waters and the warmth of a summer day, the sky broods with the promise of a storm. This tension between tranquility and turmoil adds a compelling depth to the scene. Dressed in outfits that hark back to the 1950s and donned in raincoats, the girls embody a retro aesthetic that speaks to nostalgia and timeless friendship. The choice of a digital medium, meticulously crafted and then mounted on a wooden panel, gives the artwork a unique texture and depth, further enhancing its nostalgic appeal. Keteleer's work is a tribute to the enduring bond of friendship, beautifully rendered in a scene that balances the ephemeral with the eternal.
