The artwork titled “Seascape: Ligurian Sea, near Saviore” was created by Hiroshi Sugimoto in 1993. It falls under the Minimalism art movement and is classified within the genre of photographic art. This piece captures the essence of the sea with striking simplicity.
In the artwork, Sugimoto presents the Ligurian Sea in a minimalist and abstract manner, focusing on a tranquil horizon that seamlessly merges the sky and sea. The composition is balanced, devoid of extraneous details, allowing the viewer to immerse in the quiet, meditative quality of the scene. The restrained monochromatic palette, along with the unbroken horizontal line, evokes a sense of infinite space, stillness, and contemplation that is fundamental to Minimalism. The photograph’s serene and ethereal atmosphere invites reflection on the vastness and continuity of nature.
