A boat near the rocks in Turunc (2026) Original Oil Painting by Simon Kozhin

The artist painted this life-size sketch in 2026 during a creative trip to Turunc, Turkey, in one session in the alla prima style. A serene coastal landscape unfolds with luminous clarity. The composition balances a vast expanse of blue water against a rugged shoreline. In the foreground, textured rocks emerge from the shallows. Their warm ochre and grey tones anchor the scene. A solitary white boat floats peacefully near the coast. It introduces a human presence without disturbing the silence.
The artist employs a rich impasto technique. Thick layers of paint create a tangible sense of depth and movement. Light dances across the surface of the Mediterranean sea. Shifting hues of turquoise and cerulean suggest the clarity of the water. In the distance, soft mountains blend into a hazy sky. The palette remains harmonious and bright. Every brushstroke emphasizes the natural vitality of the seaside. This artwork captures a fleeting moment of absolute stillness. The play of reflection and transparency brings a vivid impressionism to the rocky seabed.
