Humpback Whale. South African Seascape.
Original artwork by Olga Nikitina, oil painting on 100% cotton canvas, impasto painting, palette knife art
Artwork is finalist of Art Fair «In the clouds» and exhibit in the Views Hotel, Wilderness, South Africa.
I am very inspired by event in South Africa – whale migration. It is incredible to see how this huge animal 30 tones weight can gracefully jump out of the water and fall again creating a beautiful water splash. I try to capture this magic moment with vibrant colors and heavy texture. The massive body of whale is in tune with light but thick clouds in the background.
