Painting description

The painting attracts the eye with the calmness of the blue waves, which gently envelop the figure of the woman with a mermaid's tail. The colors are subdued, dominated by greens and blues, which create a harmonious whole. The figure of the mermaid dynamically emerges from the water, her body bent in a dramatic arc, her hand stretched out towards the bird in flight. The composition is really well thought out, because the eye naturally goes from the mermaid to the bird. The painting is full of a dreamlike atmosphere, as if everything was happening in a slightly magical land. The artist used realistic painting techniques, but there is also something of romanticism in it. You can feel the breath of the sea breeze. And hello, it's a bit like a fairy tale! In the viewer, this painting can evoke feelings of peace, but also longing for freedom. Emotionally, the painting has something hypnotizing, something appealing. Interestingly, the bird in flight gives a sense of movement, that life goes on. It may seem as if the mermaid is trying to capture something fleeting, something out of reach. This is simply fascinating.
