This postcard depicts a solitary sailboat on the open sea, accompanied by a seagull in flight, in a simple and calming composition. The image was born from a sketchbook filled over the days spent on the Atlantic coast, where the slow movements of the boats and the presence of seabirds left a lasting impression.
The sailboat depicted is not a replica of an existing model, but a form inspired by maritime tradition, borrowing from the soft lines of small coastal sailboats. Its design is deliberately refined, in order to leave plenty of room for space, light, and the silence of the sea. The discreet seagull enlivens the scene without disturbing it.
The creation was created on a graphics tablet, favoring a reduced palette of cold tones, worked by light superimpositions, like a nod to washes or watercolor sketches. The whole seeks to restore the impression of a moment lived, more than of a specific place.
Printed locally in Charente on high-quality paper, this postcard is a personal evocation of the sea, travel, and time standing still. A simple image to send or keep for those who love open horizons.
