Into the Blue

Description

In loving memory of the author’s dear friend Paul and his immense love and passion for the ocean.

If you distance yourself from the painting you can see a heart shaped in the deep blue color which dominates the canvas: it represents Paul’s heart.

The painting hasn’t been worked on through the use of any brush, but only through the author’s bare hands deepened into the acrylic colors. This is a feature that distinguishes the painter’s first artworks from the most recent ones, symbolizing irrationality, instinct and the brain’s total lack of control over the subject.
