Painting, Oil on Canvas, 80cmx80cm, Modern Impressionism, “Tall Ships on Oslo Fjord” by Irina Sanina
By Irina Sanina & Ajay Goyal
“Tall Ships on Oslo Fjord,” a collaborative work by Iryna Sanina and Ajay Goyal, transports viewers to the realm of the Impressionist masters’ era, crafting a scene of timeless maritime tranquillity.Bathed in the brilliant northern summer sunlight, the gentle waves of the fjord cradle the tall ships, which emerge as symbols of historical grandeur against the backdrop of a contemporary cityscape. Enveloped in the warm hues of the summer sun, these ships pay homage to Oslo’s maritime legacy, a legacy that spans centuries.
The influence of Impressionist masters—Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, and Camille Pissarro—echoes through every stroke of this canvas. Their enduring fascination with maritime scenes, yachts, and boats finds a contemporary reinterpretation in this piece.
Mirroring Monet’s quest to seize the ephemeral qualities of light and atmosphere, the painting captures the interplay of sunlight against the bright blue sky and the fjord’s waters.
The painting draws deep inspiration from Camille Pissarro’s exploration of the effects of light, skillfully harmonizing tradition and modernity, and celebrating the fleeting nature of moments.
The artwork blurs the demarcations between sky and sea—an homage to Pissarro’s fascination with the interplay between the natural world and human creations.
As the tall ships anchor in Oslo Fjord, they bring the currents of time and invite viewers on a contemplative journey. This journey converges history, modernity, innovation, and artistic expression into a contemporary masterpiece that resonates with the essence of Impressionist mastery.
