In this painting, the watcher gets a close-up peering through a keyhole, often in idyllic or fairy-tale setting.

An artist, like a child, travels with his eyes wide open. He looks at the sky, as Ulysses did when thirsting for knowledge, and sees a sea and a sailboat rushing into a port where the waters are calm. Climactically surrounding all of this, like the hymn of the universe, is a brightly shining sun! This painting brings to one’s attention the expansiveness and eternity of the Universe.

The artist represents the “flower” ship sailing among the islands of the terrestrial paradise. The pink glow of her gladioli sails illuminates all around. The sea surface is strewn with flower petals. The natives use them to approach the ship, greeting her with palm branches. Magnificent voyage turns into a triumphal procession. The vessel shown in the painting becomes in the artist’s artworks a symbol of revival and strengthening of the new life.
