Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
This work by Sako is an oil painting depicting a wave in full explosion of foam, captured in its powerful and hypnotic movement. The painting style, halfway between realism and expressionism, is distinguished by an energetic gesture and an application of material that gives depth to the water. The use of a palette knife or a heavy brush accentuates the texture of the wave, making its force almost palpable. The dominant colors are shades of blue, from the deepest to the most translucent, contrasting with the bright white of the foam. This chromatic interplay captures the light and gives the water an impression of transparency and life. The darker background reinforces the power of the wave, creating a striking contrast between the depth of the ocean and the choppy surface. The work evokes allegories of power, freedom, and ephemerality.
