Original artwork description:

In this painting, I've woven a tapestry of emotions and mythology, blending figurative grace with surreal mystery. Each figure, adorned in vibrant, textured gowns, symbolizes different sea myths, embodying the enigmatic allure and formidable power of the ocean. The choice of acrylic, tempera, and vinyl enhances the ethereal quality, capturing a frozen moment of otherworldly elegance. This artwork invites viewers into a realm where the boundaries between the known and the unknown blur, sparking a sense of wonder and contemplation.
This painting can be hung on the wall or installed on the floor as a screen.

"It is to the Virgin Mary, 'Maris Stella', Star of the Sea, that the sailors of the West recommend their cargoes and, even more, their bodies and souls."
— Fernand Braudel, The Mediterranean, 1985

This painting holds echoes from those whishes — whispered at sea, passed through generations.

Here are the Three Maritime Beauties:
each holding the soul of a ship, a voyage, a sky of stars.
A quiet homage to the sacred femininity behind centuries of seafaring faith.

Materials used:

Tempera, acrylic
