Sea 

Konstantin Korobov's painting "Sea" invites us to a quiet contemplation of the natural world, made during a period of renewed interest in landscape art. Here, Korobov captures the timeless essence of the sea meeting the shore under a canopy of stars. The neat grid of stars introduces a certain tension. It reminds me of a surveillance technology that threatens to tame nature. The painting evokes a sense of solitude, the artist translates a personal connection to the seascape, perhaps reflecting on broader themes of existence and our place within the cosmos. Korobov’s work bypasses the grand narratives and heroic depictions to offer an introspective view that is both calming and unsettling. What does the sea mean to you? In what ways does nature make you feel both insignificant and deeply connected?
