Title

The Sky is Visiting the Sea

Description

This piece by Nazar Tuvakov is meant to portray the connection of the sky and sea as one entity. Tuvakov skillfully employs blending techniques to incorporate the sky and sea into a unified entity on the canvas, drawing upon the notion that the sky is a continuation of the sea and vice versa. Earth's water is in constant motion, transitioning between the atmosphere and the surface of our planet. In a visual sense, the atmosphere and water are once again connected when one stands at the edge of the ocean, gazing at the horizon. As the ocean follows the natural curvature of our planet, its vast blue expanse blends into the expansive sky, creating a sense of continuity. The reflection of the sky on the water's surface enhances this visual merging, emphasizing the idea of a shared space. This continuity metaphorically represents the unity and interconnectedness within nature, especially highlighting the fluid and dynamic boundaries that elements within nature possess. Tuvakov draws upon these ideals and depicts them literally on this canvas.
