Jasmin Navoyan - SUMMER TOGETHER / Beach series

Textured painting on canvas.
This work is part of an ongoing contemporary series exploring memory, movement, and human connection through scenes inspired by coastal life.
Created as a textured mixed media painting on canvas using two different artistic techniques, the painting combines acrylic paints and natural sand. The sand introduces a striking 3D effect, enhancing the tactile quality of the shoreline and giving the painting remarkable depth and realism.
Viewed from above, a group of children gathers on a bright shoreline, absorbed in a moment of play and shared experience. Their small figures contrast with the vast openness of the beach and sea, transforming an everyday scene into a reflection on freedom, community, and the fleeting nature of childhood.

Rather than documenting a specific place or event, the painting evokes a universal summer memory — a moment suspended between movement and stillness, where time seems temporarily forgotten. The rhythmic interaction between the figures, the textured shoreline, and the flowing patterns of the ocean creates a visual balance between human presence and the natural environment.

The aerial perspective reduces the scene to its essential relationships: distance, gesture, rhythm, and connection. Through the contrast of expressive texture, light-filled colour, and contemporary composition, the work explores themes of joy, belonging, and collective memory.

Part of a collectible contemporary coastal series, this artwork combines figurative storytelling with modern abstraction, creating a distinctive piece for collectors of contemporary art and seaside-inspired imagery.
The surface is protected with a high-quality ANTI-UV damar varnish, preserving colors and textures while adding a refined finish. The canvas is stretched on a solid wooden frame, with the sides carefully painted, allowing the artwork to be displayed without a frame for a clean, contemporary look.
The artist’s works are known for their diversity of themes and rich variety of painting techniques, and can be found in numerous private collections worldwide, as well as in Polish and Czech galleries.
