About The Artwork

This work was done under the impression of the famous "stormy waves" by Gustave Courbet. The artist painted about 60 paintings with this subject on the coast of Normandy from 1865 to 1870. I love Courbet's art and I love Normandy. My "Waves" was done in a couple of hours - in the fast paced Courbet style. For the (hope, temporary) absence of the coast of Normandy, two “wave” landscapes of Courbet were taken as a reference point: from Frankfurt (Staedel Museum) and Tokyo (National Museum of Western Art). This is already my third approach to the stormy sea - the first signs of serial production are evident, but Courbet is certainly far from the impressive size of the “wave” series. The waves of the sea always excite me. The plot of the crashing wave that rolls right over the viewer attracted Courbet with its multi-layered symbolism - this is liberated nature, a metaphor for life's struggle, it is not only violence and destruction, but also creation and renewal. Oil, canvas on cardboard, 40x50, 2020

The artist's works were purchased by collectors from the USA, Spain, France and Great Britain. BIO: «Painting for me is a window into a world in which taste and harmony reign, a world of bold experiments coexisting with a sense of proportion. A world in which there is a right to choose, here you yourself constantly choose alternatives and yourself determine the course of events. Paints, canvas and easel are only attributes, and the foundation of landscape painting is the desire to see, the willingness to notice, to be able to observe, the desire to contemplate in solitude and at the same time a passionate desire to convey your impressions to others. The ability to be surprised usually leads to a desire to surprise. The painting process is fascinating. The initial chaos of colored spots on the canvas suddenly takes on meaning and outlines. One random stroke changes everything unpredictably. Simple - imperceptibly becomes complex, the parts gradually add up to a whole. Time flies by - it's a real passion! It's hard to know when to stop - the feeling of flow. I study again and experience the unspeakable pleasure of free creativity...»
