"Mediterranea" by Rafael Gallardo.  Acrylic & oil / canvas. 47" x 24"

The dynamic and textured surface of the water, rendered in shades of blue, green, and hints of purple, captures the ever-changing moods of the sea. White streaks dance across the waves, suggesting the movement of foam and the play of light on the water’s surface. Above, the sky transitions from a pale green near the horizon to a deeper blue as it stretches upwards, creating a serene backdrop for the scene. White birds scattered across the sky add a sense of life and motion, their flight a symbol of freedom and the boundless possibilities of the open sea. The sun in the upper left corner, with its yellow and white rays, beams down diagonally, intersecting with falling white lines or rain, infusing the scene with energy and warmth. A visual tranquility and vitality of the Mediterranean that invites the viewer to feel the gentle caress of the sea breeze, to bask in the warmth of the sun, and to find peace in the rhythms of nature.
