I live in a town by the sea. I moved here recently, but only today I painted the sea. Until now I looked at it, I admired it, I was fascinated by the waves, the colours, the changes, it’s strength and personality. I try to memorise colours with my eyes, to capture them with a photo. I wanted to remember the mood, to catch the moment, to stop the time. I was making sketches and photos, but I didn't feel ready to paint the sea. Then, a wave of emotions, of strong and uncontrollable feelings, seemed to take me by force and hit me in the raw concrete of reality. Splashes of pain turned into splashes of colour and finally, they merged with the sea.

​

Our life is like waves: big and threatening, during the storm and gently quiet, when the sun rises. The sea calls to you and enchants you with myriads of colours and shades. The sea speaks and sings lulling sounds. The sea calms you and challenges you, as if reading your deepest thoughts.
