Summer at the Seaside 54.5×72.5cm by Chizuru Miyasako
The painting is composed of bold geometric shapes and vivid colors, creating an abstract depiction of a summer seaside scene.
Intense red, blue, yellow and green colours are used, each with its own space yet working together in harmony as a whole.
The red and yellow areas evoke the heat and passion of summer, while the blue and green parts seem to represent the sea and the cool plants and trees.
This work skillfully captures the lively and active atmosphere of a summer seaside setting, and its strong visual impact with simplified shapes and colors is sure to capture the viewer's attention.
