On high seas 

Dimitris Mytaras painted "On High Seas" with dynamic brushstrokes of acrylic on canvas, capturing a vivid scene of maritime struggle. Mytaras's bold application of paint shapes the tumultuous waves and the weathered ship. The heavy impasto conveys the density of the water and the roughness of the ship’s hull, while the contrast between the deep blues and the ship's faded red suggests a vessel worn by time and tide. The visible brushwork gives the painting an immediacy, as if Mytaras painted it en plein air, battling the elements himself. The painting reflects the labor inherent in seafaring and trade; the ship is a symbol of human endeavor, pushing against nature's forces. Mytaras elevates the subject through his expressive handling of the paint, reminding us that art, like labor, transforms raw materials into something meaningful. This approach blurs the lines between the act of painting and the act of working.
