# About the work
This painting is the living breath of Odessa, a city where white stones meet the boundless blue of the Black Sea. Created during a plein air session in 2025, it preserves the authentic energy of the moment when the artist, standing under the scorching sun of the Odessa coast, captured the shimmer of light on the waves and the whiteness of umbrellas contrasting with the deep blue background.
The sunny coast of Odessa attracts thousands of travelers every year who seek renewal in the sea waters, cleansing their thoughts and feelings. It is this feeling of liberation, lightness, and at the same time deep emotional fulfillment that Khrapachov's canvas conveys.
White on blue — this is Odessa's calling card, its artistic DNA. White umbrellas protect from the gentle but merciless sun. White sand and white limestone rocks are symbols of purification. The artist synthesizes all this in his signature style, where academic precision of composition is combined with impressionistic freedom of brushwork.
The painting seems to whisper to the viewer: “Stop sitting on the shore — take a dip in the sea!” It is a call to action, to life, to renewal. Each brushstroke is saturated with the air of a southern city, each shadow retains the coolness of the sea breeze.
# Why this work is special
Plein air authenticity — the work was created directly on site, rather than in a studio from a photograph. This means that you get a real sense of the space, light, and atmosphere of the Odessa coast.
A unique combination of styles — Khrapachov's academic school provides structure and compositional strength, while the impressionistic approach adds liveliness, movement, and emotional immediacy.
Emotional resonance — the painting does not simply depict a landscape, it conveys a state of mind, a moment of harmony between man and nature. This is a rare case when art becomes a portal to another time and space.
Meditative power — the white color in the work acts as a visual “cleanser,” helping the viewer to release tension. The blue sea calms and inspires. This canvas is capable of changing the energy of the space.

# About the artist
Oleksandr Khrapachov (born 1981) is a contemporary Ukrainian artist whose work is based on a deep understanding of the classical traditions of plein air painting. Working mainly outdoors, Khrapachov skillfully captures those elusive moments when light, color, and emotion merge into a single whole.
His works are not just landscapes, but philosophical reflections on time captured in paint, on the energy of a place that flows through the canvas directly to the viewer.
