Original artwork description:

THE GOLDEN AGE is a series of paintings that transcends time and demonstrates the greatness of human evolution in an era marked by transformational changes in industry, technology, art, architecture... The paintings in the series seem to merge into a single narrative plot, which, although fictional, is has a palpable realism, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a realm reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's enchanting anime. The canvases of the series become a portal to a world where the past, present and future converge in a celebration of human Ingenuity and Talent, Progress and the enduring Spirit of Joy.
The painting consists of two parts and is a diptych. The plot is fictitious. The canvases depict a port city raid at the beginning of the 20th century. Accent details of the picture are the old lighthouse and cargo ships of various sizes and displacements standing in the roadstead waiting for their turn and the silhouette of the old city, buried in a lilac haze. The busy life of the port and docks, the barely audible cry of seagulls and the gradually increasing noise of the docks take us to the era of human evolution and technological development, to Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.
Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Canal of Serenity, a breathtaking diptych that continues the narrative of the Golden Age series of paintings. These two paintings, which form a single whole, painted in oil on canvas, depict a quarterly scene of the city at the beginning of the last century, two sailing ships moored to the opposite embankments of the canal. In a harmonious combination of realism and fantasy, the left side of the canal is bathed in the evening shade, and the right side is bathed in the golden glow of the sun. Despite the contrasting lighting, an organic calm reign in the scene, evoking a feeling of peace and order. The sails are neatly assembled on the yards, quiet ripples from time to time disturb the calm waters of the canal, casting mesmerizing reflections of the hulls of the ships. With meticulous attention to detail and a serene atmosphere, this diptych invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where shadows and sunlight coexist in perfect harmony.
