This illustration depicts a sailboat on the open sea, accompanied by a seagull in flight, frozen in a moment of calm and freedom. This scene was imagined from sketches made during a stay on the Atlantic coast, where the sailboats on the horizon and the cries of the seagulls inspired this peaceful composition.
The sailboat, designed with simple, clean lines, is inspired by the small traditional boats that ply the French coast. It is not a specific model, but an ideal form born from observation and memory. The seagull was added to balance the scene and recall the living link between sky and sea.
The illustration was created digitally, using soft textures and a palette of blues and grays, seeking to convey the changing light of the ocean. The goal was not to depict a rough or dramatic sea, but to capture the serenity of a suspended, almost silent moment.
Printed in Charente on high-quality paper, this poster is a modest creation, born from a personal view of the seascape. It is aimed at those who love the sea for its simplest aspects: the wind, the space, and the promise of the open sea.
