THE CASTLE AND THE ISLAND

The painting THE CASTLE AND THE ISLAND belongs to the pictorial movement of pictorial realism. The subject of the painting is an island in the sea and a castle discovered by a man steering a boat. The artist paints the island as his eye sees and explores it. He does not alter the landscape out of a desire to idealize it. He paints reality, as it is. The artist's choice in painting this painting has cultural and ideological significance. The man steering the boat at sea is the symbol of the traveler, of the researcher who analyzes and studies the place where he finds himself or belongs. The color of the red boat is the symbol of passion, of the energy of man. The author asks the question: what is the color of sea water? To a man looking at the sea during the day, it appears blue because the water absorbs the colors red, orange, and yellow, leaving the bluish colors visible. Sea water is the mirror that reflects the blue color of the sky. The color of seawater comes from the energy of phytoplankton microorganisms. The green color of seawater reveals the presence of diatoms. These are unicellular, eukaryotic brown algae that live alone and form entire colonies, populating both fresh and salt water. Their growth reveals the warming of seawater. Humans are attracted to seawater because the sight of it triggers emotions of joy and happiness. When humans swim in seawater, the water releases essential micronutrients and trace elements. It releases dopamine and serotonin, the chemicals associated with happiness. Rocks are natural features of an island. A rock is a structure created to protect coastlines. To beautify a landscape. To offer a natural spectacle of life to humanity and society. They are pillars of the sea that serve to protect the marine habitat. The rock in the painting symbolizes the difficulties humans encounter throughout life. The island painted by the artist symbolizes a place where nature is uncontaminated by waste or toxins harmful to the environment and humanity. The castle is a lighthouse whose light illuminates the island at night. The mountain is the high point where castles were built to defend against destructive attacks from enemies throughout the ages. The castle is also a residence inhabited by wealthy men who prefer a life dedicated to natural well-being. The artist speaks of immutability. Fish and coral reefs. Fish are not just food for humans. Or the beauty that nature offers to humans when they gaze at the sea. Fish are the symbol of the truth that lies beneath the water and corresponds to the true nature of humanity. The coral reef, on the other hand, is the true habitat of the pristine and untouched seawater of places untouched by land transformation. The message the artist communicates to the viewer is the protection of the sea through respect for natural laws and compliance with applicable legislation. It's a painting that seduces with its colors, making it unique and special. It releases a feeling of enchantment and true wonder, a feeling of true joy.
