Olga Calado
The Shore-original realism seascape oil painting-contemporary Art

2024

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. The Shore by Olga Calado captures the fleeting moment when the gentle waves of the ocean caress the sandy shore. The light plays delicately on the surface of the water, capturing its clarity as it washes over the rippled sand below. The intricate patterns of the shallow water, with its shifting currents and transparent depths, are rendered with precision, while the soft hues of the sand and sea create a harmonious, calming palette. Tiny bubbles left behind by the receding tide add a delicate touch, further enhancing the realism of the scene. Calado’s mastery lies in her ability to evoke the feeling of standing at the edge of the ocean, watching as the tide moves rhythmically. The translucency of the water and the shimmering light are captured with remarkable attention to detail, allowing the viewer to almost feel the coolness of the water and the soft texture of the wet sand beneath their feet. The composition is minimal yet profound, focusing on the beauty of the ocean’s subtle dance along the shore. "The Shore" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, and online. This artwork offers a serene and intimate glimpse of the ocean’s edge, making it a perfect addition to any space that seeks to evoke the calming presence of the sea. 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
