My interpretation of the artwork is as simple as the contrast in colour used, the contrast between man-made and natural. But somewhere in-between there is a perfect blend in both colour and theme, the water washing over the path, and the human wearing clothes and holding an umbrella. The artwork could equally be seen to express serenity or peace, which it also does well.While there is nothing original about a person walking a path by the ocean, whether in traditional art or photography, it's done here in a very interesting way.The vivid paints used add a certain surrealism to the scene, almost as if to visually express the feelings of the pictured person, the warm feeling of home versus the cold and vast expanse of the ocean.The artwork in itself has a certain power to it. I've been staring at it for a while now preparing myself to critique it and I'm just as enchanted as when I first saw it.If I had to suggest something that might add to the overall impact of the artwork, I think that if it was 2:1 or even 3:1 format, extending more into the ocean, it would add to the feeling of vast space that's already partially established by the extending path.
