About Ocean No. 7

At once expressive and ephemeral, this beautiful abstract landscape was created en plein air by Viktor Mitic. As part of the artistic process, Mitic exposed this oil painting to the elements—‘battling’ everything from gentle showers to thunderstorms and hail. The effect on the form and colour of the ‘rain paintings’ is dramatic. The palette—a rich range of blues, purples, greens, and golden yellows appears somewhat muted, the form fluid.

“The process yields a captivating topography, showcasing the ephemeral beauty born from the dynamic interplay of nature and artistic expression.” Viktor Mitic

"There is a strong suggestion of synaesthesia with sound and colour in these paintings as if a visual music present in their composition lifts them to a multisensory expression." Gary Michael Dault, Canadian arts writer
