The author's oil painting "The Sun under sail" (2025)

The sail is filled with light, the sea foam sparkles turquoise, and it seems that the sun does not illuminate the sail, but is born in it. The author's oil painting "The Sun under sail" is not just a seascape, but a metaphor for movement, strength and great freedom, accessible only to those who know how to meet the wind. The energy of the waves, the burning sky, the reflections of light on the water and sails — everything in this work is full of lively dynamics and inner light, and the master's hand gives the plot not only realism, but also philosophical depth. The work was created in 2025 and has already become an event — it seems to have absorbed all the brilliance of modern art, without losing respect for academic painting.

The artist's palette is based on complex iridescences of ultramarine, azure, ochre, purple and gold — they merge into a magical symphony of color, filling the canvas with warmth, as if emanating from inside the canvas. Palette knife strokes of the waves give relief to the sea, and the contrast of cold and warm tones emphasizes the swift silhouette of the ship — the concentration of energy, as if coming from another world. A handmade gilded baguette completes the look, creating a frame worthy of a museum exhibit.

Alexander Viktorovich Fomin, a gallery owner and artist, deeply appreciates impressionism and demonstrates his love for this style in stunning paintings. His works reflect the essence of light and color in nature, as well as the emotions and beauty of everyday moments.

The artist was born in Moscow. Alexander Fomin took his first lessons from his older brother. The novice painter was 22 years old when he first picked up a brush. Revolving in a circle of artists and selling paintings by his older brother, Alexander takes up the brush, watching as canvases are born. He studied literally "over his shoulder", closely following his brother's work.

Feeling that he can embody his impressions and ideas on canvas, Alexander makes the first strokes. Hard work and diligence paid off: in 1992, he was invited to an exhibition in West Germany. This was an important event and an incentive to choose the profession of an impressionist painter.

The artist's favorite themes are urban landscapes, retrospectives of old streets of Paris, Moscow and German cities. Today, Alexander's works are in private collections and museums, including in the city of Emmerich (West Germany), as well as in the estate of the Leontiev noblemen (descendants of Generalissimo Suvorov) and other top officials of countries and states.

Such a work is suitable for collectors, connoisseurs of maritime romance, investors in modern art and owners of exquisite interiors who want to put an object charged with meaning into the space. This picture speaks without words: about a dream, a path, about the sun, which is always ahead — you just need to decide to sail towards it.
