Description
Rocky Shore Orkney is a compelling seascape print by acclaimed landscape artist Arie Vardi, inspired by the rugged beauty of Orkney’s northern coastline. Through this striking composition, Vardi captures the elemental forces of sea, stone, and sky that define the Atlantic fringes of Orkney. In Rocky Shore Orkney, the eye is drawn to the dynamic interplay of textures — the weathered stones underfoot, the restless surf breaking on the shore, and the shifting layers of cloud above. The result is a piece that feels both immediate in its presence and timeless in its resonance. Rocky Shore Orkney evokes the sense of being transported to that remote Scottish archipelago, with its ever-changing light and atmosphere, making it a perfect focal point for spaces seeking to bring the spirit of the coast indoors.
Arie Vardi, a Chilean-born artist based in Scotland since 1991, is known for his compelling seascapes and landscapes informed by extensive observation of Scotland’s coastal and highland environments. His work combines impressionistic colour, layered brushwork, and a deep emotional connection to place, as seen throughout his portfolio at https://arievardi.co.uk/ .
