About the Artwork:

“Sitting on the Beach” is a contemplative oil painting by Genrikh Frid, created in 1998 during a deeply reflective period of his artistic career. The work captures a tranquil scene imbued with emotional nuance and poetic stillness.

🧩 The Imagery: A solitary figure gazes into the horizon, seated calmly on an empty shoreline. The interplay of warm sand tones and cool sky gradients evokes a timeless moment of introspection. As with many of Frid’s works, the scene is more metaphor than literal — a quiet meditation on solitude, memory, and inner peace.

🎨 Artistic Legacy: Rendered in expressive yet soft oil strokes, the painting offers a harmonious blend of realism and abstraction. The textured brushwork and softened edges enhance the feeling of distance — both physical and emotional — drawing the viewer into a shared moment of silence.
