Sea of Dreams
Description
This piece by Olga Astri from Kazakhstan plays with the idea of an ocean in a relaxing dreamscape. The pastel colors used in this painting combined with Astri's blurred technique bring a sense of nostalgia to the viewer in a fantastical sense. Astri's skillful use of white specks upon the waves aids to the glittery nature of water which can closely be related to the sun reflecting upon a calm ocean day. The vibrant oranges, pinks, and blues of the sky mirroring upon the wet, ocean-washed, sand seamlessly capture the realistic yet ethereal view of this beach. The ideal picturesque nature of this painting is immediately noticed by the perfectly positioned seagull in the corner and the civilians admiring the sunset on the beach and in the water. This setting perfectly captures the joy, beauty, and relaxation that a culmination of ocean experiences can bring to one's imagination.
