History of the painting

„Breath of the Ocean” belongs to Mariola Smyk's own collection as a bonus painting, created under the inspiration of the collection of 6 large-format easel works titled „Awakening of the Elements” – a cycle of paintings inspired by the forces of nature, emotions and the inner transformation of the human being.

The painting was first presented publicly on 23 May 2026 during the artist's own vernissage in Vienna. The event took place at the 3.Dent Clinic of Aesthetics and Implantology of Dr. Jakob Ledwon, located in the prestigious 1030 district, part of Vienna's cultural scene.

After the vernissage, the painting remained in the artist's private collection as a unique complement to the „Awakening of the Elements” cycle. The work holds a special place in the artist's oeuvre, representing a personal reflection on calm, space and the constant rhythm of nature.

„Breath of the Ocean” is an artistic interpretation of the silence and depth hidden beneath the surface of the water. Layered structures, subtle transitions of blue and navy, and delicate gilding evoke light penetrating the ocean depths. The composition radiates calm, balance and a sense of infinite space, inviting the viewer to pause and listen to the rhythm of their own thoughts.

Golden accents subtly illuminate the surface of the painting like rays of sunlight reflecting off the water, emphasizing the multidimensionality of the work and its contemplative character.
