Skyler’s artwork “flowers by the sea” is a vibrant and dynamic composition created using acrylic, markers, and pastels. The piece captures the lively interaction between nature in a coastal setting. It explores the use of color and line to convey meaning independently of representational forms. The painting achieves a balance between abstraction and representation, suggesting a landscape while focusing on bold, energetic sunflowers. The interplay between elements reflects the contrast between the lively flowers and the more static sea and wharf structures. The use of mixed media adds layers to the artwork, visually and metaphorically evoking the idea of growth and vitality in a serene or even harsh seaside environment. Ultimately, the piece serves as a reminder that, like flowers, people can thrive and remain beautiful even in challenging conditions, just as we have learned to live by the sea.
