About the Artwork:
"In the vast expanse of the Côte d’Azur, I found solace in the embrace of the azure depths. This painting is a reflection of my soul's dance with the sea, where every hue and stroke captures a fleeting moment of passion and serenity intertwined."
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.

“Embracing the Azure," an arresting composition by Andrew Manaylo, deftly encapsulates the raw, elemental fervor of the Côte d’Azur. The canvas is awash with tumultuous swirls of cerulean, evoking the ebb and flow of the Mediterranean, while splashes of gold and crimson intersperse, reminiscent of the Côte d’Azur's luxurious and sun-drenched shores. The painting's audacious strokes and seemingly chaotic palette betray an undercurrent of purpose, mirroring the region's harmonious dichotomy of wild beauty and refined elegance. The very title, “Embracing the Azure,” speaks to an intimate dalliance with the infinite, an unabashed dive into the profound mysteries of the blue. In this masterful oeuvre, Manaylo does not just depict the Côte d’Azur, he becomes one with it, inviting viewers into an immersive experience where art and reality, abstraction and precision, coalesce into a singular, mesmerizing vision.”
