When I painted this piece, I wasn’t aiming to depict a specific place, but rather a feeling — a space between memory and dream, between the visible and the imagined. The ship isn’t just a vessel; it’s a symbol of the soul adrift, quietly navigating the unknown.
Though it resembles a seascape, the surrounding elements are not water but air, time, and thought. I wanted the ship to float conceptually — untethered from logic, yet bound by fine lines that represent our invisible ties to people, memories, and ideas.
I used soft, airy tones — pale blues, warm creams, touches of ochre — to evoke silence and distance, like the stillness of a dream. The arches and bridges in the background act as metaphors for life’s transitions, while the planetary forms suggest alternate paths or possibilities.
This painting is my quiet odyssey — a place beyond the tangible, where something forgotten or not yet lived lingers. If others find their own journey in it, then perhaps it’s not just mine after all.
