17 Mile Drive by Gergo Bolgovics

29×25 inches

Acrylic, Oil, Plywood

Created 2025

Visiting the 17 Mile Drive feels like stepping into a world both enchanting and elusive. It’s atmosphere is captivating and magical-inviting, even mesmerizing-yet it carries a hint of mockery in its unattainable perfection. The vibrant abundance of colors is deeply inspiring. Though the painting depicts a single place, it carries the hues and mood of the entire coastline. Behind a slightly intoxicating, misty appearance, sharp contours emerge through the contrasts of color. Here, the power of the palette knife is fully realized. In the background, a non-existent city seems to appear-surfacing not from memory, but from a deeper reflection. This work was created through the joined effort of oil, palette knife, and bare hands, expressing a sense of infinite beauty that remains just out of reach. Curiosity, harmony, determination, serenity.
