Oil on canvas.
36x48x1"
This painting exudes a sense of warmth and happiness. The bright, optimistic colors create a cheerful atmosphere reminiscent of a summer day spent by the water with loved ones. The loose brushstrokes add to the painting's sense of freedom and spontaneity, suggesting that capturing the spirit of the moment is more interesting than achieving photorealism.
The small boat in the painting stands out as a focal point, drawing the viewer's attention. However, the image of this boat is surrounded by bigger and bigger ships, which suggests that the happy summer time of kids, with fishing time with grandad and vacation time with the whole family, is just a tiny part of a much larger world. This hints at the idea of continuity between generations, where the past, present, and future all interconnect and influence one another.
The overall effect of this painting is one of nostalgia and joy, as it evokes memories of childhood summer vacations spent with family and grandparents. In addition, the image of the boat in the middle of a larger world is a powerful reminder of the importance of family and tradition and how these things can provide stability and continuity throughout our lives. Original oil painting.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The process of creating my work is an organic one. The history and time of the creation of each art piece are crucial to me, and I keep the impulse of the emergence of an idea till the last brush stroke. My paintings seek to capture a fleeting moment or emotion while celebrating the joy of making.
Whether making a painting or drawing, I allow the elements I create to ‘appear’ on the surface of the canvas or paper.
My approach is mainly intuitive; the paintings unfold and develop almost of their own accord, and I aim to invite the viewer to find an emotional connection within the painting.
