Curatorial Concept (for an online exhibition)
“Me and the Sea” represents one of the central artistic threads in Mirian Gomeli’s work — the visual exploration of the fusion between the inner human space and the elemental force of nature. The work understands the seascape not as an exterior environment but as a state of consciousness in which the subject and the element merge into a single, continuous movement.
At the center of the composition is a figure that emerges from the depth of the image through cubically resolved forms and a three-dimensionally perceptible plasticity. It does not appear as an autonomous form — its contours dissolve and transition into the dynamic structure of the sea. The artist thereby raises the traditional dualism of figure and background and designs a hybrid model of existence in which “I” and “Sea” become a seamlessly flowing reality.
The painting space is built as a layered system of transparent and deep blue–turquoise tonalities. Transparent layers of color create the light-transmitting vibration of the water, while intense dark blues convey the sense of mass and depth of the sea. In this field of tension, an illusion of movement arises: the figure seems not to exist on the surface, but inside the water, in its energetic flow.
The combination of abstraction and cubist deformation here serves not a purely formal experiment, but the conveyance of an experience — that state in which a person, in contact with nature, loses his limits. The work thus becomes a metaphor for identity: the sea as a collective, infinite space, and the figure as an individual consciousness that both disappears into and is reborn within it.
In the context of an online exhibition, “Me and the Sea” appears as a meditative visual field that invites viewers not to look at a landscape, but to enter it. The screen surface becomes, in effect, similar to the water surface — a transparent boundary between outer reality and inner space.
The work embodies Mirian Japaridze Gomeli’s artistic philosophy: Nature is not an external object but a continuation of human experience. “Me and the Sea” is an image of this unity, in which subject and element move in the same wave.
