Shine (2023)Oil painting by Vasyl Koval

Before us is a serene seascape painted in soft, muted tones. The main focus is on the reflections of the sun spreading across the water’s surface, creating a gentle shimmering effect. The light dances on the sea, adding a magical atmosphere to the scene.

In the background, the silhouettes of mountains emerge through a light haze, while a cargo ship appears slightly closer. Its form is barely visible, almost dissolving into the atmospheric perspective. The ship adds a sense of movement and life to the composition without disturbing the overall tranquility and stillness.

The color palette is predominantly cool—shades of blue, lavender, and soft pink evoke the calm of early morning or evening. Gentle brushstrokes and an impressionistic style give the painting an airy, fleeting quality, as if capturing a delicate moment of harmony in nature.
