Venturing boldly into the abstract! This artwork is inspired by the thick brush strokes of Pierre Soulages and the royal blues of the Mediterranean.
Pierre is a 100 year old French artist who is known for his thick black brushstrokes (called ‘outrenoir’, meaning'unaccountable' or ‘beyond black’ in French) against lighter backgrounds. He is deemed “The Greatest Living Artist” of our modern art era.
The royal blue lines suggest a simple and peaceful scene - a sailboat in the water. The shimmering background is white pearl which hints at fresh pearls from the sea. The thick lines and texture are both intentional, giving it more life.
Fun fact: The title of the piece"Barka" is translated as 'small boat' in Croatian.
I found this to be a very happy, light, and playful piece - see the boat dance in the water!

Burn only on stable heat resistant surfaces for not more than 2 hours at a time. Keep out of drafts. Do not move candle while burning or if wax is hot. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Discontinue use when only 1" wax remains in bottom. Safely remove the remaining wax & wick and use the vessel as a planter or household container. Safely enjoy!
