Sea-Mulation (151)

In this painting, a sail rises like a blue flame amid an erupting sky. The contrast between the turquoise calm of the sea and the fiery orange of the sky expresses the tension between peace and turmoil. The sailboat, a fragile silhouette, embodies perseverance: it carves its wake despite the strength of the elements. The painterly gesture is quick, almost musical, like a score improvised by the breath of wind. The scene evokes a pivotal moment, when everything could either collapse or shine. The viewer contemplates the fragile balance of the crossing. And if beauty lay precisely in this precariousness, in that point of uncertainty between fall and flight?
