About this artwork+
This painting, "Summer Wind" by Rimantas Virbickas, captures a young girl from behind as she walks into the sea. Her white dress flows with the breeze and her curly hair bounces in the wind. The sea churns energetically around her, with waves frothing white against a deeper blue backdrop. Grey clouds and hints of a pale sun suggest an early or late part of the day. Virbickas uses thick, expressive brush strokes to add texture to the water and the girl’s dress. The use of impasto technique enhances the liveliness of the scene. The painting evokes a sense of freedom and the simplicity of a moment caught in nature.
