The artwork named “Seascape: Aegean Sea, Pillon” was created by Hiroshi Sugimoto in the year 1990. Belonging to the Minimalism art movement, this photograph exemplifies simplicity and tranquility through its visual elements.
The artwork captures the serene and vast expanse of the Aegean Sea. It portrays a seamless gradient from the darker, textured lower portion representing the sea, to a lighter upper part symbolizing the sky. The convergence of the sea and the sky in the middle of the frame creates a meditative and almost abstract composition, characteristic of Minimalist aesthetics. The simplicity and the vast emptiness evoke a sense of infinity and timeless beauty, emphasizing the inherent peacefulness of the natural world.
