In “Seascape”, Sophie Dumont captures the essence of Normandy’s beaches with a remarkable mastery of textures and nuances. This 54 x 65 cm oil on canvas immerses us in a timeless seascape, where the sky and the sea merge in an almost abstract harmony.

The work of the material is here a central element of the work. The knife strokes, loaded with thick paint, create a visual depth that brings the scene to life. The surface of the canvas thus becomes an extension of the landscape itself, evoking the roughness of the sand and the fluidity of the water. The shades of blue, beige and gray blend into a composition where each nuance seems to evolve with the light of day.

The sky, vast and dynamic, occupies a large part of the canvas. Its textured clouds, in perpetual motion, give the impression of a moment suspended between calm and imminent change. The beach, with its warmer tones, recalls the soothing presence of the earth, while the sea suggests an infinite, almost dreamlike horizon.

This painting does not just represent a place, but it captures an atmosphere. The absence of precise figurative details allows the viewer’s imagination to wander, to resonate with the immensity of the landscape. “Seascape” is an invitation to contemplation, a visual pause that evokes the calm after a storm or the silence before a rising tide.

Sophie Dumont offers us here a poetic vision of the Normandy beaches, where nature, through its silent language, tells its own stories of time and light.
