Watercolour “Rock me”, 2014 by Anna Dart

 

 

The early painting by the contemporary woman artist Anna Dart "Silver magic ships you carried" captures the fleeting beauty of a first summer love, where every moment is a new discovery, and every touch is electric.

 

The young couple, captured in a moment of tender embrace, are caught in the whirlwind of new emotions and the uncertainty of the unknown. The man, with his strong arms, holds the woman close, as if to shield her from the world, and she, in turn, allows herself to be held. The subtle tense movement in the woman´s posture suggests a moment of hesitation or uncertainty.

 

The background is left blank, like a blank canvas, representing the infinite possibilities that lie ahead for this couple, and the infinite potential of their awakening feelings. The strokes of black watercolors are bold, and yet, delicate, evoking the intensity and fragility of their feelings. The title, "Silver magic ships" is a reference to the song by Rodriguez and it is fitting as it perfectly captures the feeling of a first love, where everything seems magical and precious, like a ship that shines like silver.
