The scene is infused with various shades of blue, each tone whispering of calm and infinity. The gentle waves cradle the boats, their reflections shimmering like fleeting dreams. In the distance, another vessel drifts lazily, anchored to the unseen depths, suggesting a quiet companionship amidst the vast solitude.

 

The stone dock, solid and weathered, provides a stark contrast to the fluidity of the water. Yet, it too seems softened by the enveloping blue, as if inviting the viewer to step onto the boat and embark on a journey into the unknown.

 

Vladimir Bašić Šoto’s style, in all of his similar works, is a delicate dance between realism and poetic abstraction. His paintings capture the serene essence of coastal life with a soft, contemplative touch. The recurring themes of boats and water are rendered with a dreamlike quality, where the boundaries between sky and sea blur into a harmonious blend.
