This original work «Old pier» was created by contemporary Russian artist Andrey Fomin and is available for purchase online.

The painting by Andrey Fomin “Old pier” is a piece that evokes a deep sense of melancholy, yet at the same time admiration for the power and eternity of the sea. The artist captured an old pier, which, like a witness of bygone eras, stands amid the raging elements, reminding us of the fragility of human creations in the face of nature.

At the center of the composition is an old wooden pier extending into the sea. Its structure looks worn, the pillars supporting it, like the legs of a giant, sink deep into the water. The pier is depicted in dark, muted tones, emphasizing its age and possibly symbolizing a farewell to the past. However, despite its dilapidation, the pier appears sturdy, as if ready to withstand any trials.

The sea is the main character of the painting. It is shown in motion, with foaming waves crashing against the pier. The color of the sea is a deep, rich blue, with shades of turquoise and green, creating a sense of its vastness and power. Sun rays breaking through the clouds illuminate the water’s surface, creating glimmers and reflections that bring the scene to life.

The sky in the painting is also dramatic. It is overcast with clouds, but sunbeams peek through them, creating an effect of mystery and hope. These rays, as if directed from the heavens, illuminate the pier and the sea, giving them special significance. Seagulls can be seen soaring in the sky, adding life and dynamism to the painting.

Andrey Fomin masterfully works with color and light to convey an atmosphere of drama and melancholy. His brushstrokes are expressive and energetic, conveying the movement of water, the texture of wood, and the clouds. The color palette, combining dark and light tones, creates contrast and depth.

“Old pier” is not just an image of a pier but a reflection on time, life, and the eternity of the sea. The pier, like a symbol of the past, stands amid the raging elements, reminding us that everything in this world is transient, but the sea and nature are eternal. The painting evokes a feeling of melancholy, yet also admiration for the beauty and power of nature, for how it can transform even the simplest objects. Andrey Fomin creates a work that touches the soul and makes us think about our own “old piers”—the memories we keep and the paths we travel in life.
