Description

Such clusters of mussels are a common occurrence on the coast of Portugal. Walking along a deserted beach on the Atlantic Ocean, I saw exposed rocks at low tide. They were completely covered with mussels. Their shells have already dried up under the warm sea wind. My attention was attracted by cobalt shadows on the rough surface of the shells, which emphasized the texture of their flaps. Small amber-colored pebbles stuck between the dense packaging of shells glowed like small lanterns.
The painting is made with professional watercolor paints on French cotton paper. Like any other painting, watercolors should be protected from direct sunlight

Concept

Watercolor for me is an opportunity to express impressions of what I saw in travels, to convey my feelings from the diversity and uniqueness of the surrounding world. With the help of a brush, I can show the barely noticeable variability of the atmosphere, air, light. Everything that can be instantly imprinted in memory, but so difficult to explain in words. I prefer the "wet" technique, when the paint is applied to paper soaked with plenty of water. I like that watercolor paints themselves are involved in the creation of the picture. Sometimes, on a wet paper sheet, the image looks fuzzy, a little blurry, like a memory or a dream. I try to pick up on the hints that watercolor gives me by interacting with the damp surface of the paper and develop our dialogue with it without turning it into an argument. Bring those emotions and energy that inspire me to work.
