This piece is a dreamlike exploration of nautical nostalgia and architectural fantasy.
As an artist, I wanted to blend the romance of tall ships with the grandeur of classical structures, creating a surreal seaport where vessels rest not on water but within a maze of arches and mist.
he sails stretch like memories through the layered atmosphere, tethered by lines that suggest both connection and entanglement.
Soft hues of cream, blue, and gold evoke a timeless, otherworldly calm — a place suspended between history and imagination.

When I painted this piece, I wasn’t trying to depict a place so much as a feeling — a space between memory and dream, between sky and sea, between the seen and the unseen. The ship at the heart of the painting isn’t just a vessel; it’s a symbol for something far deeper — the soul, perhaps, or the human spirit adrift in the vast unknown. I’ve always been fascinated by journeys, not the kind you make across maps, but the kind that happen within.
The scene may look like a seascape at first, but it’s not water that surrounds the ship. It’s air, it’s time, it’s thought. I wanted it to float — not just physically, but conceptually — untethered from logic, yet connected by fine lines and invisible threads to something meaningful. The rigging, those delicate lines crisscrossing the canvas, they represent our ties: to people, to memories, to ideas. We’re never truly alone on our paths — even when we drift, we’re connected.
I used pale, airy tones — soft blues, warm creams, hints of ochre — to evoke silence, distance, and the surreal calm of otherworldly landscapes. The light comes from everywhere and nowhere, just like in dreams. And maybe that’s what this whole painting is: a dream I couldn’t shake, a place I had to visit on canvas because it doesn’t exist anywhere else.
The arches and bridges appearing in the distance are fragments of continuity — markers of time or passage. I’ve always felt that bridges aren’t just physical structures, but metaphors for the transitions we go through in life: from one emotion to another, one chapter to the next, one lifetime into whatever comes after.
And then there are the planets — or suns — or whatever you might see in them. I leave those open intentionally. To me, they represent parallel possibilities, cosmic alternatives, the “what ifs” that orbit us all. They watch silently, like memories or futures we’ve yet to touch.
In painting this, I wasn’t trying to explain anything. I was trying to remember something I hadn’t yet lived — to capture the feeling of standing at the edge of understanding, just before stepping into the unknown.
This piece is my quiet odyssey. It’s where I go when I need to remember that there is more — more beyond the tangible, more beyond the now. And if others can find their own journeys within it too, then maybe it’s not just my ship after all.

This artwork blends architecture, dreams, and flight into a surreal scene.
The floating ship above a maze of arches and fog suggests both freedom and being held back. I was inspired by how we build dreams in the sky but stay tied to the ground by unseen threads. The sails, clouds, and buildings mix together, blurring the line between reality and imagination.
Warm ochres and soft greys create a balance between earth and air.
