That is funny tho, thinking about the art vs the artist’s intent.
In this case, the artist made a great many of these, and decided to call them elements.
Then, you posted 33 here.
Then I, acting upon only the context of the painting and title, decided to look up what element 33 was.
And now when I look at all those beautiful paintings I only think of arsenic. Whereas if I had seen them all together, the element number would’ve been basically meaningless - just an interesting way to name paintings that don’t really have names.
So, in that case, I thank you for the opportunity to have more attached meaning to this than would’ve otherwise been allowed.
He’s incredibly skilled. I love his subtle use of light and color. I’ve never seen one of his paintings in person but they are enormous. I bet it’s a sight to see
I see Ran Ortner only paints these ocean scenes and element is just one of his ways of titling them. You can see more of them on his website here .

Agreed - although I didn’t realize about the size, that’s even more incredible. I’ll have to see if there’s any around me.
Oh, ok. Thanks.
