About the Artwork:
"Riviera Rhapsody" is born from the visceral tapestry of the Côte d'Azur's endless azure skies and seas. This painting is a passionate ode to the rhythmic waves and the serene vastness that defines the Riviera. As an artist, I found myself completely immersed in the dynamic yet harmonious essence of this coastal paradise.
The vibrant blues and tranquil turquoises that dominate the canvas are reflective of the deep emotional connection I feel with the Mediterranean's spirit. The energetic splashes and drips are reminiscent of the sparkling water as it dances under the sun, and the deep textures echo the depth and mysteries of the sea.
Creating this piece was an intimate journey, a rhapsody of colors and emotions, much like the ebullient tunes of a coastal symphony. It encapsulates the movement, the melody, and the mood of the Riviera—a place where nature’s rhythms are felt in one’s soul, and every view is a poem without words."
– Andrew Manaylo
The painting was created with oil paints on a uniquely textured composite aluminum panel.
Thanks to the use of spacers, the artwork “floats” on the wall in an aura of beautiful light, made possible by the app-controlled LED backlighting.
