A classic Yektai subject of melding flower still life with a landscape background. Land and sea become one as the orchid's form and colors blend into the waves of the seascape. The leaves of the plant start to become the waves crashing onto the shore and the sun could be mistaken for a blossom. Artist Bio Darius Yektai was born in Southampton NY, in 1973. He lives and works out of his home and studio in Sag Harbor. He grew up in a cultural home of art and artists, with his Greek-American Mother, and his Father, Manoucher Yektai...

In this affecting composition, Yektai combines the dynamism of the abstract expressionist style with the soft, meditative qualities of Monet's waterlilies. Yektai first paints the canvas with loose strokes of rich deep greens. A pinkish red abstract form takes center stage - ang highlights of yellow flank the edges. Then he pours a clear-grade liquid resin onto the painted canvas and lets it harden into a glassy surface. Finally, he uses linear brushstrokes connecting colors into forms, in the typical impressionist style. Yektai varies the volume in which he applies paint, from thin and dry to sopping wet and thick. This process allows for a more three-dimensional experience of the painting. One can see through layers which build-up to create the flurry of brushstrokes. The reflective surface makes space for the viewer to see themselves in the painting, looking back at them. A contemporary notion.

Abstract oil painting on canvas and resin. This moody piece has a lot of depth, literally! The layers of paint and resin are built upon each other, the upper layers casting shadows below. The glossy resin over the darker surface also creates a reflective surface. Just off of center is a brighter patch of cerulean emerging from the shades of black and dark grey. This piece can be hung horizontally or vertically. When hung vertically, the word "FUCK" can be read more easily at the bottom of the composition, when horizontal, the lines of the letters hide amongst the stems of the black roses...

An abstract oil painting, loosely painted en plein air on a beach in the Hamptons. The painting captures a curling wave, just about to crash on the shore, the spray from the top of the wave watching in the wind off the ocean.

Color notes jotted down urgently to capture the moment before it disperses like sea spray in the breeze. Yektai paints in a thick sculptural fashion...
