This original artwork “Evening at White sea” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Evening at White Sea” is a harsh and at the same time mesmerizing seascape, capturing the moment of sunset on the coast of the White Sea. The artist uses a muted, but nuanced color palette and energetic, textured strokes to convey a sense of silence, peace, and the grandeur of northern nature.

At the center of attention of the painting is the water surface of the White Sea, occupying most of the canvas. The water is rendered in saturated gray, blue, and lilac tones, which reflect the sky and the surrounding landscape. The surface of the water seems calm and serene, with only a slight ripple disturbing its mirror-like surface. The sea breathes silence and peace, creating a feeling of harmony and unity with nature.

In the foreground of the painting is the shore, covered with stones and sparse vegetation. The stones, scattered along the shore in a chaotic order, are executed in various shades of gray and brown. They look rounded by waves and swept by winds, which adds an element of austerity and asceticism to the landscape. The vegetation, depicted with sparse strokes of green and yellow, only emphasizes the lifelessness and coldness of this place.

The horizon line, separating the sea from the sky, is blurred and indistinct. This creates a sense of boundless space and uncertainty. The border between earth and sky seems to be erased, merging into a single whole.

The sky occupies the upper part of the painting. It is depicted in muted pink, orange, and gray tones, which conveys the feeling of sunset. The clouds floating in the sky create a sense of movement and liveliness. The artist uses free, expressive strokes to convey the texture of the clouds and the play of light in the sky.

Special attention in the painting is paid to light. The soft, diffused light of the sunset penetrates through the clouds, illuminating the water, shore, and stones. This light is not bright and blinding but rather muted and gentle, which creates a feeling of quiet sadness and peace.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on the detailed rendering of each object. Textured strokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the water is lapping against the shore, and the wind is blowing from the sea.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of silence, peace, and grandeur. It is an ode to the White Sea, its harsh beauty, and its unapproachable character. The painting seems to invite the viewer to feel themselves on the shore of the northern sea, feel the coolness of the wind, and enjoy the beauty of the sunset. This canvas is about nature, its power and beauty, as well as about the eternal cycle of life and rebirth.

The title of the painting, “Evening at White Sea,” indicates the specific time of day and place depicted on the canvas. The White Sea is a harsh northern sea washing the shores of Russia. Evening at the White Sea is a time of silence, peace, and reflection. The painting seems to say that even in the harshest conditions, you can find beauty and harmony; you just need to be able to see it and appreciate it.
