深海 Ultramarine pigment and mixed media on wooden panel 70 x 95 x 2cm (28 x 37 x 0.8 inches) 深海 (Shinkai) — meaning “Deep Sea” in Japanese — is an exceptional monochrome painting by contemporary artist VITYRA, known for his distinctive material-based approach and serene, minimal compositions. This work is executed on a solid wooden panel, giving it a refined, architectural presence. The piece measures 70 cm in width, 95 cm in height, and 2 cm in depth, with a total weight of approximately 4 kg. The panel is mounted on a frame and can be hung directly or additionally framed, depending on the collector’s preference. The deep, saturated ultramarine seen here evokes the boundless stillness of the ocean’s depths. It is the result of months of material experimentation, combining rare pigments and specific chemical compounds imported from France — the very same agents once used by Yves Klein to achieve his legendary blue. The surface has a matte finish that absorbs and refracts light subtly, giving the painting an extraordinary sense of depth and quiet luminosity. As with all of VITYRA’s works, the philosophy of wabi-sabi — the beauty of imperfection and transience — is quietly embedded in the surface. Minor irregularities within the pigment layers enrich the tactile depth of the work, ensuring each encounter with it reveals new nuance and emotion. 深海 stands as a meditation on stillness and depth — a monochrome field that invites the viewer to drift inward, to where light dissolves into silence and color becomes pure feeling. This original painting by VITYRA is discreetly hand-signed on the reverse side to preserve the purity of the artwork’s surface and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. VITYRA is represented by S-Gallery, a well-known gallery for Viennese boundary-pushing contemporary artists. Unlike canvas works, this piece is created on a solid wooden panel and therefore will not be shipped rolled.

This method guarantees the highest possible level of protection and minimizes any risk of damage during shipping. The painting measures 70 x 95 x 2 cm (28 x 37 x 0.8 inches) and can be hung directly or additionally framed according to the collector’s preference.
