Creation by Chilean artist Franco Salas Borquez. Known for his symbolist depictions of the sea, Salas Borquez primarily works with oil paint but also experiments with other materials like pencil, ink, pastel, and marble powder. For this particular piece, he used silver ink on Canson paper. Drawing from an internal “memory archive” of ocean imagery, the artist embraces spontaneity in his creative process. His works evoke emotions that are often reinforced by their evocative titles, adding a literary dimension to the visual experience. Through a restrained color palette and meticulously crafted light effects, his art tells a compelling story.
