“The Sea Within Me” – Alexander Telalim | Watercolour

“The Sea Within Me” is a poetic watercolour by Alexander Telalim, dedicated to the sea not simply as a place, but as a feeling we can carry with us.

Some people leave the sea, but the sea never leaves them.

The work holds openness and freedom, but also a quiet dreaminess. Watercolour allows the colour to move lightly and naturally, as though water and air were gradually flowing into one another.

The image recalls a memory of a distant shore: one of those memories that lose their details over time, yet preserve the feeling.

Here, the sea becomes an inner space. It is direction, longing and the promise of faraway places: somewhere we can return to even when we are hundreds of kilometres from the shore.

There is silence in this freedom too. That particular peace which comes when the eye reaches the horizon and, for a moment, there is nothing to stop it.

“The Sea Within Me” is a work for people who carry their horizon within them: and always leave a little room for one more distant shore.

The sea that stays

You can leave the shore, return to the city and let months pass. Yet somewhere within, the waves keep sounding, the distant line of the horizon remains, along with that inexplicable wish to set off towards it again. In “The Sea Within Me”, Alexander Telalim paints precisely this sea: the one we carry with us.
