"Midnight Scene in Alaska Lit Up by Moonlight and Aurora Borealis", acrylic on canvas, Bishop Maxim, 2023
Although it is modern and has many arbitrary elements due to modernité, it still maintains realism in convincingly rendering the wet element, the frozen element, and the feeling of being illuminated by the sun, as in the cabin of the ship shining in the sunshine.
The little church is a golden jewel; you feel like leaving the ship and going down to pray. The opposite icebergs are mirrored very successfully in the waters of the sea. The painter has put some purple highlights on them successfully.
The most successful is the steamboat that dominates the middle of the painting, thanks to its original shape and bright colors, red, yellow, and blue. Here the painter achieved real originality. He did what Picasso wrote: "When I build a boat, I want it to be my own boat and not an imitation of another."
