The morning was good to embark, the day was sunny and the sea promised to be good to us. Today we continue to make the trip that our ancestors did; not to discover, not to emigrate or seek riches, but for the simple fact of going to another place.
-Diary of the Anonymous Navigator.
Trip Across the Sea is my 4th tokenized piece at @nftshowroom, once again I have presented a work that has nothing to do with the theme of the previous ones, and that is (as I have already mentioned in other publications) I define myself as a restless person, variant and with many interests; and of course all this is reflected in my work.
In this case I have been inspired by the sea, the nautical, boats and travel. In the verses that I used to describe the work, I establish in very poetic overtones the emotion that human beings feel when traveling and seeing what we have not seen or simply to change the environment, I establish that we no longer travel to discover but that we come to feel the same emotion felt by the ancient explorers.
The main theme of the work is the need to travel, explore and go to other places that all human beings have, only expressed in a very dramatic way with high contrasts and at the same time with very bright and exalted colors.
The original work published in @nftshowroom has a high resolution of 5184 x 3456 px and therefore whoever buys it and downloads the original file will be able to enjoy all its details in all its splendor by zooming in and it is also a work that supports printing in formats large.
As I would like to share all these details, I am going to upload several images so you can see the visual richness of my new piece and I hope you enjoy them:
At the center of the work we have a boat that is beginning to be boarded by travelers, who are received by one of the navigators, one of my favorite details of this part is the girl who wears pink; Well, every time I can take advantage of magenta tones, I do so, because it is a color that is not usually very common.
On the left we have a very dramatic scene, the line of people marching on the water and on the foam left by the slabs breaking on the shore to board the boat. As we can see in their clothes and in the boats (which have motors) it is not an old exploration trip, but the beginning of a tourist trip presented with much drama to evoke the emotions of those who travel.
On the right side of the work we have a funny scene in the boat that is already boarded and where the birders are sitting; it is about a happy tourist who takes a picture of herself with her camera, another element that shows that the work is situated in contemporary times.
I think that apart from a good job in shapes, lighting and colors, one of the things that adds great visual richness to a work is that within the approach of the main theme and the work itself, there are several stories happening within. of the work at the same time. This invites whoever sees her to explore with her eyes and spend more time with her.
I also want to invite you to see the details of the landscape that serves as the setting for the development of the theme:
In the landscape there are many elements that are of vital importance to me; we have the sky, the mountains, the trees that paint the lands that border the coast green, some houses integrated with nature and some palm trees that give the work a very Caribbean touch.
The work is for sale at @nftshowroom for 15 Hive and I have only coined a single edition as I have been doing, because I want these works to be recognized as unique pieces in the world and the best way to do it is based on one of the fundamental principles Of art; "Art must be unique". And as I like to say: there is only one Mona Lisa, there is only one Guernica and there is only one Starry Night, so if I aspire to greatness (someday) I must follow this principle and give my collectors something unique and beautiful from lonque only they can be owners.
