The artwork, entitled “Twins By The Sea,” was created by the artist Odd Nerdrum in 1999. This piece is associated with the Neo-Baroque art movement and belongs to the genre of symbolic painting.
In “Twins By The Sea,” the composition features a serene, beachside landscape. A figure, presumably a female, is seen reclining on the soft, sandy ground, wrapped in what appears to be fabric or seaweed. Near her lie two infants, similarly enveloped, suggesting a deep symbolic connection to nature and the sea. The background reveals a tranquil scene of rolling mounds and a calm sea that stretches towards the horizon. The warm, muted tones evoke a sense of tranquility, while the figures’ placement and composition convey themes of birth, connection, and the continuity of life.
