Shore 4

Țărm 4

2010 · oil on canvas · 50 × 39 cm

An ochre, cream and brown-violet bank descends from the left towards the centre of the canvas, broken into smooth knife-laid plates with sharply cut edges. At its foot blue-grey water enters from the right and forms a narrow tongue winding into the distance. Beyond, the far bank is a dark line, and in the distance a barely drawn grey-white crest dissolves into the beige sky. The sky fills the upper third as a warm uniform surface. The colour is restricted to earths and a single blue; the absence of any detail leaves the place undetermined.

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.
