Boat with sails 

Periklis Vyzantios made this painting of a boat with sails, using oil on canvas, we see a scene rendered with visible brushstrokes and a muted palette. The texture of the paint itself is important here. Vyzantios applied the oil with an almost hasty, broken touch, lending the scene a sense of immediacy. You can see that the light shimmers across the water and reflects off the white hull of the boat. The artist built up layers of color and tone. This way of painting evokes the impressionistic style. But it also captures the essence of a working harbor. Consider the labor involved in maintaining boats like this. It’s not only a visual exercise but also a social record. This painting challenges conventional distinctions between art and craft, drawing our attention to the way an artist’s process engages with the world around them. Vyzantios elevates the everyday into something worthy of contemplation, reminding us of the beauty found in the ordinary.
