In this
painting, I see the life of a fisherman. He sets out to the sea as he usually
does and watches as the sky becomes a beautiful mix of tinges of orange and
yellow, like God wanted man to see art in the sky before dark finally settles.
He sees the swirling of the waves, strong and magnificent, and sees the
layering of blue and white with hints of gray and green, like they are indeed
oil painted on canvas.
Color is a prominent aspect in the
painting. Puruganan emphasizes the contrast of the golden sky to the light blue
waves, but the colors are in harmony with each other, they do not fight for
attention. Instead, they become part of one another. That is why when you look
at this painting, you see it as a whole. The deliberate strokes of blue and
white created a sense of movement to the waves, you almost expect the waves to
shift and stir. The orange and yellows brought glow and warmth.
You might find yourself responding
to the painting; feeling the bobbing of the boat that lulls you to calmness,
seeing the endless expanse of the sea and the majesty of the sunrise. Do you
become terrified of the uncertainty of the deep waters beneath you, think of
home and if you’ll ever come back, or does the beauty of the lit golden sunset
sweep everything out of your mind for the moment and leave you speechless?
