Shore 5

Țărm 5

2010 · oil on canvas · 110 × 69 cm

An orange-ochre bank occupies most of the canvas, its surface treated in broad smooth strokes, with a crest of white and grey rocks crossing horizontally, furrowed by dark vertical fissures. Beneath the crest the ground descends in waves of ochre, brick pink and brown, with a blue streak marking water or a deep shadow. Above, the sky is blue with thick white clouds applied with the knife. The colour is warm and saturated, almost desert-like; the scale remains ambiguous — the bank could be two metres high or twenty.

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.
