“Sunset over the Aegean” captures the essence of a sunset over the ocean. Phthalo blue and turquoise blue form the deep, tranquil hues of the ocean at dusk. Quinacridone magenta and Venetian rose blend into these blues, creating a warm, pinkish-purple glow that echoes the setting sun as it melts into the horizon. Delicate white streaks and cells emerge, representing the last rays of sunlight shimmering on the water’s surface.

With its vibrant colors, yet soft transitions, this piece intends to evoke a profound sense of calm and reflection. It serves as a metaphor for the close of summer—rich in beauty and warmth, yet touched by the melancholy of endings. The artwork captures the fleeting, yet deeply cherished moments that linger in the heart, just as these colors linger on the canvas, reminding us of the bittersweet nature of life’s transitions.
