About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Reeds by the Shore by Olga Calado evokes a sense of calm and quiet solitude as the tall, golden reeds sway gently in the foreground. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail captures the fine texture of each blade of grass, standing proudly against the soft, pale dunes. In the background, the azure sea stretches towards the horizon, its calm surface gently blending into the sky in subtle gradations of blue. The peaceful shoreline invites the viewer into a tranquil moment, as if standing alone on a quiet beach, feeling the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze. Calado’s brushwork brings a delicate realism to the scene, with each strand of reed swaying in harmony with the imagined coastal breeze. The simplicity of the composition enhances the feeling of serenity, where the natural elements—sea, sky, sand, and reeds—are perfectly balanced. The pale blue sky is vast, creating an expansive sense of freedom, while the textured sands and grasses offer grounding and warmth, pulling the viewer into a personal connection with nature. "Reeds by the Shore" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, and online. This artwork serves as a soothing reminder of the beauty in nature’s simplest moments, offering a timeless piece that brings tranquility to any collection. Artist bio: Olga Calado is a London-based painter who creates realistic oil paintings on canvas. Her work explores themes of beaches, dune landscapes and still life. Olga grew up in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain, next to Doñana National Park and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. There, she drew deep and lasting inspiration from the coastal environment. Following her training in technical drawing, perspective, volume techniques and complex colour composition at Francisco Pacheco High School, she graduated with a BA in Philology from Queen Mary, University of London. She then continued her art education at The Prince Foundation in London, where she studied Old Master oil painting techniques. Olga Calado is a juried member of the International Guild of Realism, IGOR from Arizona, USA. Her art is considered part of the representative style within the Ecological Art Movement. She had exhibitions in commercial galleries and institutional museums, such as Tate Modern or the MEAM, the European Museum of Modern Art. Her works have been exhibited widely in her hometown of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, with additional shows in London, Bolonia, Barcelona and New York. Calado's artworks are in many private collections around the world. Discover the captivating realism of Olga Calado’s seascape paintings, thoughtfully curated at Signet Contemporary Art. Her works are a masterful blend of technical skill and emotional depth, transporting viewers to serene coastal landscapes through her exquisite attention to detail and nuanced use of color. Available for purchase both in our London gallery and online, these exceptional pieces showcase her extraordinary talent and unique artistic vision, offering collectors a chance to own a truly remarkable and timeless work of art. “In my oil paintings, I focus on creating realistic depictions of beaches, sand, and dune landscapes. This realism goes beyond what a camera can capture. My work is infused with light, rhythm, and the experiences that stem from my perceptions. My knowledge of Old Master painting techniques enables me to create and convey atmosphere through delicate lighting on my subjects. By layering multiple coats of oil paint, I aim to achieve a sense of depth in the artwork, resulting in highly detailed pieces that can be appreciated from a distance. My art reflects a deep emotional connection to these landscapes. In a time when many people feel a sense of environmental loss or disconnection from the natural world, my work invites viewers to expand their perceptual abilities and reconnect with the incredible qualities of nature.”- Olga Calado
