Near the Sea 1960

Valerii Lamakh's 1960 painting "Near the Sea" showcases the artist's distinctive style with its use of bold colors and thick impasto, creating a textured surface. The composition is dominated by a dark, earthy palette, punctuated by bursts of red and yellow. The subject, a figure with a halo-like head, evokes a sense of mystery, perhaps an angel or a mythical being, standing before a vast sea, represented by the blue and green strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. This work exemplifies Lamakh's fascination with symbolism and expressionism, revealing a world of inner emotions and subconscious imagery.
