Tittle: Embark - Kialoa II
 
Medium: Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Size: 36 x 24 x 2"
 
Description: This piece is 1/7 of the 7 days of Sailing campaign, you may have seen it around this summer at festivals and shows advertising this new collection. The ship in this piece is modeled after a real boat called the 'Kialoa II', sailing away from shore in a fantasy seascape. I found the energy in this piece to mirror the feeling at the start of an unknown yet exciting journey, hence the tittle Embark.
 
This collection is inspired by my stepdad Peter Georgiou, a born sailor who snuck off with ships from a very young age in Greece. He now finds himself in Canada missing the water, talking about his adventures sailing across the sea. You can see the longing love in his eye when he speaks of sailing and I wanted to create a collection that can bring the feeling of being at sea into homes. Hopefully some of this collection reaches the aspiring seaman or the sailor with a heart lost to the sea.
