Water - Original Ornamental Art Blue Turquoise Sea Painting

The painting "Water" was created specially for the All-Russian project "Art to the North". The theme of the project is “North” or “The authenticity of my city / region”. I got into both themes at once, because the ornamental art of one of the small peoples of the north of Sakhalin, the Nivkhs, was used. To create this picture, I was lucky to be inspired by the ornaments of the Nivkhs at the Sakhalin Regional Art Museum, which was just taking place at that time. I came to the conclusion that the roots of modern abstraction are rooted in antiquity, when signs and symbols replaced written language for people. In fact, an ornament is a description of reality in signs and symbols. They are found in every culture in the world. The Nivkhs still retain their identity: rituals, national clothes, cuisine, musical instruments. They also perform rituals of feeding the owner of water and the owner of fire, as they did hundreds of years ago, negotiating with the spirits of nature. Creating this picture, I rethought the Nivkh ornament, symbolizing the sea, waves, stones, added my own elements and depicted it in dynamics, which is just not typical of ornaments. My ornament from a static one breaks up into parts and transforms into the objects of which it consists: sea, waves, fish, seagulls. I wanted to show the inextricable connection between art and nature on the one hand, and nature and man - on the other, how fragile this world is and how we depend on it. I am planning to create a series of such pictures. The painting was painted in oil on durable canvas. I used turquoise shades. In some places, the texture of the canvas shines through the paint, which gives the picture airiness and lightness. The ends of the picture are also painted in the main background color. I pack works of art with care so that they arrive in perfect condition. Heavy duty, high density foam boards are used to cover the front, back and sides. The work is sent with a certificate of authenticity. You can also purchase prints of this picture on quality paper, framed, unframed or on canvas.
