CURATOR’S VIEW: This image portrays a serene beach landscape at West Wittering, in the South of England, characterized by a wide expanse of sandy beach leading up to calm, shallow waters under a vast, cloud-filled sky. The colour palette consists of soft, natural tones with the sand appearing in warm beige and the water in tranquil shades of blue and green. The sky takes up a significant portion of the composition, suggesting a sense of openness and calmness, with the clouds adding a dynamic texture. The style of the painting leans towards realism with a touch of impressionism, capturing the quiet beauty of the coastal scene. It conveys feelings of peace, solitude, and reflection, as the beach is devoid of any human presence. The technique and style could be compared to the works of artists like Joaquín Sorolla, known for his beach scenes and mastery of light.
ARTIST’S CONCEPT: In this piece, I wanted to blend the boundaries between impressionism and semi-abstract. With lively acrylic brushstrokes, I captured the essence of a coastal scene, infusing it with emotion and energy. The subtle play of light against water, the dynamic spray, and the peaceful greenery are designed to evoke a sense of tranquillity and reflection, inviting the viewer to a serene yet invigorating mental landscape. It's a celebration of nature's dance between calm and chaos, bringing a breath of fresh, coastal air into any space.
