The Faroe Islands. Floating Lake. The Rift

The painting "THE FAROE ISLANDS. FLOATING LAKE. THE RIFT" is part of the project "On the Volcano", dedicated to the picturesque views of Iceland. The project presents landscapes with views of Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Unique natural areas of volcanic origin.
Volcanoes, geysers, waterfalls, lifeless moss-covered valleys, mountain formations, glaciers and people who have integrated into nature in an amazing way - all this and much more Iceland. Trees practically do not grow on volcanic rocks in a harsh climate with the strongest wind and rare sun. The land cover of Iceland and the nearby islands consists of mosses, lichens, grass and permafrost. Hilly open landscapes with drying rivers, lakes, geysers, waterfalls, mountains, melting glaciers in combination with cloudy skies and vast expanses of the sea form a unique landscape. The theme of the foggy Faroe Islands in combination with their unusual inhabitants is also presented on several multi-format canvases of the project.
The aim of the project is to reflect the beauty and features of the volcanic landscape of a unique original, such a distant and mysterious area.

The island of Voar, which is part of the Faroe Islands, will be replaced by its amazing lake Sorvagsvatn (or Leitisvatn). It is this place that is reflected in the picture from an unusual angle.
The lake is 30 meters above the ocean level and is an unforgettable sight. Travelers call it "lake over the ocean" or "lake on the edge of the abyss." The waters of Lake Sorvagsvatn enter the Atlantic Ocean through the waterfall Bossdalsfossur. However, the waterfall is hidden between steep, steep cliffs and it is difficult to see it.

In the search for visual keys to depict volcanic landscapes, several basic artistic techniques were identified: fiery imprimatur, layering, lasing, expressive relief of palette knife technique.

The ends of the painting are painted and do not require mandatory framing. Before sending, the painting is covered with a protective finish varnish, a suspension is fixed on the reverse side.
