Shore 2

Țărm 2

2009 · oil on canvas · 76 × 74 cm

Two narrow, almost black boats lie drawn up on a pale green bank at the lower right, their gunwales drawn in firm strokes; one has its prow raised towards the viewer. The water spreads to the left as a smooth silvery green surface with horizontal reflections, and the far bank is a dark band of vegetation with ochre patches. In the distance the hills melt into a greenish-white haze, and the sky is a uniform grey surface. The whole canvas is held in a range of muted green, grey and white, the boats the only dark accents — an almost monochrome picture built on close tones.

Painted at Vama Veche, like the whole „Țărm” (Shore) series — established by the family, August 2026.

The „Țărm” (Shore) series — eight works between 1990 and 2010, the sea always seen from above, from the rock. The rock is the cliff at Vama Veche: all eight were painted there, established by the family in August 2026. With them, the seaside stops being a single year's exception and becomes a place he returned to for twenty years.
