This vibrant painting, by Fikret Mualla Saygi, captures a harborside scene in an explosion of colour and lively brushwork. The composition is a flurry of dynamic strokes, where the reflections in the water mimic the architectural forms and the bright sun. The structural integrity of the artwork lies in its vibrant use of colour and the textured application of paint. The artist does not seek to replicate the scene, but rather to invoke a mood through the use of colour. Patches of blue and white mix in the sky above which gives an impression of movement. Below, reflections act as semiotic markers, mirroring and distorting the world above. Mualla's art destabilizes traditional notions of representation, opting for a world rendered in a dynamic and emotional palette. Here the harbour becomes a site of semiotic activity, where the reflections function as a language, articulating the dynamic play between surface and depth. Ultimately, the painting invites us to continually rediscover the world through sensation.
