As noted in the curatorial text: “The horizon has been one of the most enduring motifs in the history of painting, serving as a point of reference between the visible and the imagined. Yet the edge of the horizon is never fixed. It shifts according to the observer’s position, atmospheric conditions, and the moment in time. The clarity of the atmosphere and the intensity of light make the horizon at times sharply defined and at others almost immaterial, particularly in seascapes where sky and water tend to merge. The boundary thus becomes a zone of transition, where the categories of above and below, near and far, are called into question. At the same time, on a social level, the notion of the boundary is constantly being redefined. Population movements, tourism, and the continuous flow of images and information are transforming our perception of space and distance. The horizon ceases to be merely a geographical point and becomes instead a symbol of expectation, escape, or even limitation. Watercolor, with its ability to render subtle tonal transitions, is particularly well suited to exploring this unstable boundary, where the image balances between representation and abstraction.”
