Shore 3

Țărm 3

2010 · oil on canvas · 50 × 45 cm

A rocky bank crosses the canvas horizontally, its face broken into white and cream blocks cut by dark vertical fissures with ochre and reddish-brown accents; above it a blue-grey crest and a strip of green vegetation close the middle plane. Below the bank the water spreads as a calm blue-grey surface with horizontal reflections. In the lower left corner three narrow boats lie drawn up on the shore, drawn in firm brown and black strokes. The sky is a washed pink-grey band. The composition is strictly layered: sky, rock, water, boats.

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

Related works

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.
