"Through the Storm" – A Piece of Cinematic History

This artwork is more than a painting; it is a piece of cinema history. "Through the Storm" was chosen as the title exhibition painting for the film "Island"(premiere 2026).

The film is a landmark international collaboration starring Hollywood veteran Kevin McNally (best known as Joshamee Gibbs in Pirates of the Caribbean) and the legendary Ukrainian actor Bohdan Benyuk. Sharing the screen with these titans of acting, "Through the Storm" served as a pivotal visual element, its dramatic energy mirroring the intense performances of McNally and Benyuk.

The Artwork: Painted with oil on a 70x90 cm canvas, the work depicts a ship navigating the tumultuous energy of the ocean. The dramatic play of light against dark, churning waves symbolizes the resilience required to weather life's greatest storms—a theme that resonates deeply within the film's narrative.

Companion Piece: "Fishing boat".
