Shore 6

Țărm 6

2010 · oil on canvas · 50 × 39 cm

A low bank crosses the canvas diagonally from upper right to lower left, treated in broad strokes of brown, ochre, blue-grey and white, with a few thin black lines marking cracks in the ground. In the foreground a patch of carmine red, the only saturated colour, spreads at the foot of the bank. Beyond, a strip of yellow-green ground and a blue-grey crest close the middle plane; the sky, filling the upper half, is a pale, almost uniform grey. The work is nearly monochrome, and the red accent acts as an anchor for the eye.

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.
