Original artwork description:

“Scarlet Sails” is a sold original 24"x18"x0.5" oil painting created with palette knife technique and rich impasto texture. Inspired by Alexander Grin’s romantic tale of Assol and Captain Gray, this impressionistic portrait captures the dreamlike moment when scarlet sails appear on the horizon—symbolizing hope, love, and the power of belief. Sculptural layers of oil paint evoke emotion and movement, blending literary magic with visual storytelling.

Painted on stretched canvas, signed on the back, and wired for easy hanging. Includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

✨ This artwork now lives in a collector’s home—but I welcome commissions in a similar style, palette, or theme. Whether you’re drawn to expressive portraits, literary inspiration, or textured abstraction, I’d love to create something just for you.

International shipping available. Buyers are responsible for any VAT, tariffs, or import taxes.

Materials used:

oil paints, canvas, palette knife, wire
