Original artwork description:

This atmospheric watercolor and ink piece depicts a serene harbor scene, where gently swaying boats reflect the warm, muted tones of a sunlit cityscape. The artist masterfully balances the bold red of the vessels with delicate linear details, creating a sense of depth and quiet movement. The contrast between the vibrant boats and the shadowy water invites the viewer to explore themes of nostalgia, travel, and connection to the sea.

Meaning of the work:

Focusing on the boats and their reflection in the water creates a sense of peace, stability. This work can be seen as an invitation to observe the simple but meaningful details of life. The white lines representing the masts and ropes add dynamism, while the interplay of water and light enhances the sense of movement. The image of the harbour is not only a part of the city, but also a place where memories, journeys and expectations come to life.

The artwork is made on gray pastel paper 160 g/m2, with deckle edges and empty border.
