About this work

This painting shows a rocky shore with jagged cliffs and a deep blue waterline. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the cliffs, where colors like brown and white mix roughly. The sky is a smooth, pale blue, fading into a darker tone at the top. The signature in the corner reads "Tofan" — likely the artist’s name. The painting’s rough texture suggests the artist used paint heavily, almost like sculpting with it. Look up impasto to see how artists build up thick layers of paint like this.
