Cadaqués, soir, 1

Cadaqués, soir, 1 by Virginie Martin Blaise is an oil-on-board seascape capturing the quiet transition between day and night along the Mediterranean coast.

The composition is reduced to essential elements: a broad expanse of water, a distant shoreline, and subtle cloud formations stretching across the sky. Gentle tonal shifts of blue and grey create a sense of stillness, while the small sailboat introduces scale and human presence.

This work reflects the artist’s interest in atmosphere and temporal states rather than detailed description. The horizontal format and restrained palette invite contemplation, evoking the calm and suspended time of early evening.
