The story that inspired the artist to create this painting is about a person who spent their life searching for their place in the world, traveling to different shores, crossing seas and oceans. In their wanderings, they not only discovered new horizons but also explored the depths of their soul. This painting is a metaphor for those moments when they were on the verge of a new discovery, at the brink of change, where the calm around them only emphasized the approaching storm of transformation.
The boats on the water became a symbol of the freedom they had sought all their life. They remind us that freedom is not always a gust of wind; sometimes it comes in the form of a quiet harbor where one can rest before new challenges. But, like in life, this calm is temporary, always followed by movement, struggle, and ultimately, a new understanding of oneself and the world.
The painting is imbued with the idea that a person, like nature, is multifaceted and changeable. Within us, too, lie both calm and storm, light and darkness, and by finding harmony with these opposites, we become part of something greater, powerful, and beautiful, like the sea itself, reflected on this canvas.
