Original artwork description:

Heart of the Sea is a meditative exploration of the ocean’s inner life. Painted in 2013, this expansive horizontal canvas immerses the viewer in the slow rhythm of open water, where subtle waves roll beneath a soft, overcast sky. The composition offers no shoreline, no figures – only the sea itself, vast and absorbing.

Alexander Levich builds the surface through layered brushwork, allowing color and movement to emerge gradually. Deep turquoise and cooler blue tones interact with lighter reflections, creating a sense of depth and quiet motion. The painting feels both grounded and infinite, inviting the eye to wander without destination.

Rather than telling a story, Heart of the Sea creates space for reflection. It speaks to moments of introspection, when silence becomes meaningful and stillness carries weight. This work is ideal for collectors drawn to calm, emotionally resonant seascapes that reward prolonged viewing.
