The Seagull beneath the Wave
“The Seagull beneath the Wave” is a piece created approximately 10–20 years ago, one of the artist’s early works where a strong and distinctive graphic representation emerged. The painting depicts a seagull flying beneath a wave, an image imbued with multiple symbolic meanings. The seagull, with its aerodynamic and somewhat futuristic lines, represents strength, resilience, and the ability to face adversity, even in the heart of a storm.
A red thread, tied to the bird’s talons, connects to a pencil, symbolizing art and creativity. This connection signifies both the unbreakable bond between humanity and artistic expression and the act of letting go, allowing art to flow freely. It captures the essence of the present moment—a transition where something is both created and released to its destiny.
The artist describes this scene as “the drop before the wave,” a moment of tension and potential, where the seagull’s flight becomes a symbol of freedom and determination. Even in the most challenging conditions, the seagull continues to fly, reminding us of the intrinsic human strength to endure and move forward, guided by creativity and art.
With its fluid artistic gestures and combination of symbols, “The Seagull beneath the Wave” celebrates courage, the power of the present moment, and the transformative energy of creativity as a source of meaning and inspiration.
