Near the Sea

2010, oil on cardboard, 70x91,5 cm /// The style of painter Edgars Vinters (1919–2014) is characterised by a blend of realism and impressionism. Nature landscape with a depiction of the local seashore environment. Water and shoreline have been chosen as the central motives. The composition fully reflects the artist’s quote “my goal is striving towards the light”. The painting is permeated by the depiction of flickering light effects thus making reminiscences with one of the main principles of 19th century Impressionist painting. The atmosphere of the sunny day is depicted by showing every nuance of the light and shades interplay on the wates surface, sand and trees. Several shades of green colour create a vitality-filled representation of nature. The volume of the objects is built with strokes varying in width and length. /// The artist’s signature and date on the lower right side of the painting.
