The painting was painted from a photo of a ship docked in the port of Rostock in 1953. A bit of history! The vessel was built in 1903 as SS GRETE CORDS in Rostock. After World War II, in 1949-1950 it was rebuilt at the STAATSWERFT STRALSUND shipyard. The new name of the merchant ship is SS VORWÄRTS (FORVARD), DSU Berlin. In 1952 it became the property of the new shipping company DSR. 05/15/1955 disabled.
This is a small story of a large ship - a steel giant that worked on the sea trade routes. The aesthetics of steamers have a special charm. I, as a fan of ships and boats, wrote this work with pleasure and special inspiration. I would be glad if you like it and buy it. The canvas has a special energy of that time, which was successfully conveyed by means of oil painting.
This picture clearly traces the knowledge of the geometry of the boat, which is skillfully drawn on linen canvas. Thick linen canvas on a wooden frame, which I make myself, is one of my favorite mediums for painting.
I will be glad if you like the picture and will be bought.
I practice oil painting with a palette knife. This tool allows me to model the form and plans step by step, as a result of which the works acquire a specific texture and mood. At the heart of all my paintings is linen canvas - the material is strong and durable.
I try to frame all my work, unless the buyer prefers otherwise. My experience of selling my works of art allows me to draw this conclusion, because as a result you get a decorated work of art, which can immediately be used to decorate the interior, or presented as a gift.
