Serenity of the Shore 44 images Created 19 Apr 2024

The collection, Serenity of the Shore, is my heartfelt ode to the quiet solace a day at the beach offers. Through these paintings, I strive to encapsulate the effortless harmony and profound beauty found in the simplicity of the seaside. A beach holds an irresistible pull—a space where one sheds not just the weight of everyday attire but also the burdens of the mind, finding a deep sense of peace near the ceaseless rhythm of the waves.
The inspiration behind these works stems from my own yearning for stillness in a world that often rushes forward without pause. The interplay of light and shadow across the sand, the gentle curve of a wave as it meets the shore, and the muted symphony of water meeting earth—all of this draws me in, whispering a promise of tranquility.
Each piece is crafted with soft, fluid brushstrokes, echoing the gentle ebb and flow of the tide. Layers of acrylic, enhanced with water-like transparency, invite the viewer to lose themselves in the depth of the ocean’s hues. I hope these paintings serve as an invitation—a chance to step into this calm scene and carry forward a fragment of its stillness, its serenity, and its enduring beauty.

  • This painting by Jan Keteleer masterfully captures a moment of silent communion between two women at the beach, gazing into the sea's vast expanse. Clad in bathing suits that hark back to the 1950s, they stand at a seawall's balustrade, embodying the era's fashion with elegance and grace. The digital creation's meticulous mounting on a wooden panel adds a tangible warmth, inviting the observer into a bygone era. Keteleer's use of a retro aesthetic not only infuses the artwork with a sense of nostalgia for past summers but also delicately underscores the enduring friendship between the women. The painting's atmosphere is charged with an unsaid understanding and shared memories, making it a poignant homage to the timeless and comforting essence of companionship.<br />
<br />
The symbolism in Jan Keteleer's painting goes beyond the mere depiction of two women gazing at the sea; it dives deep into the realm of human connections and the passage of time. The sea, vast and enduring, mirrors the infinite nature of their friendship, suggesting that true bonds withstand the test of time and change. The 1950s bathing suits are not just elements of fashion; they symbolize a period of innocence and simplicity, perhaps hinting at the uncomplicated nature of genuine relationships. Standing at the seawall, the women are at the boundary between solid ground and the unpredictable sea, a metaphor for life's transitions and the comfort found in companionship during such times. This artwork, rich in its narrative, invites viewers to reflect on their own relationships and the timeless nature of human connection.

  • Girl diving in the water, summer, or at any other time is an exhilarating, fun, eye-catching, and unforgettable experience. Girl diving in the water is more than just the act of splashing about in the ocean. It is the exhilarating feeling of becoming underwater, of being "there". Girl diving in the water is the perfect escape from our hectic lives; it is a chance to get right "down to earth" and forget about all the crazy things we have going on, to feel the gentle swaying of the ocean waves against the shore, to explore uncharted territories with our friends, and loved ones, and most of all to discover the vastness of the world. It is a chance to escape from the stress of everyday life and be swept away by the pureness of nature and the beauty of the sea.

  • The sun was setting over the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the beach. Two girls walked hand in hand along the shoreline, their silhouettes reflecting on the wet sand.<br />
They laughed and chattered as they strolled, their friendship evident in every gesture and expression.<br />
In the distance, waves crashed against the rocks, creating a soothing symphony that blended with the gentle rustle of the palm trees.<br />
The colors of the sky and sea blended together, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the two girls. The soft pinks and blues of the sky mirrored their joyful demeanor, while the deep blues and greens of the ocean reflected their strong bond.<br />
As they walked, they stopped to pick up seashells and admiringly gaze at the beauty of nature around them.<br />
Their carefree spirits and genuine happiness radiated from the painting, capturing the true essence of their friendship.<br />
The sand beneath their feet was imprinted with their footprints, a reminder that they were leaving their mark on this world together.<br />

  • A Retro style painting can be inspired by many things. It is common to see this style painting done in bright, bold colors reminiscent of the fifties and sixties. Although today's painting can also have the same effect, it has a much more futuristic look about it. Retro style painting is often used as a framing or background image for a poster, a still from a movie or any kind of publicity or marketing artwork.<br />
<br />
The colors chosen for this type of painting are typically pastels or dark blues. This gives it a more mysterious feel about it and helps bring out the atmosphere of the fifties. You should always keep in mind that, if your poster is going to act as wallpaper or as an actual painting for your wall, then you might want to invest a little bit more money in it to get a good quality material that will last a long time.

  • A Retro style painting of a woman on the beach is one of my most favorite art forms because it is so different from the norm. It brings back memories when I was young and I have been really into pin-ups for years now. In Retro style you have pin-up women that are in school, nursing school, or just in their teens. Often times pin-up girls have sports jerseys or college tee on and that is where I love to hang these art forms in my house. I find that the retro art style is so versatile and it comes in many different mediums. You can get these great paintings of women in all kinds of poses in a summer setting.<br />

Whatever medium you choose to use it can be your own personal canvas. Just like any other type of art, the more you practice the better you will get. I like to use two mediums to try different painting techniques to see what looks best with my style of art.<br />
<br />
Some of my favorite Retro style painting of a woman on the beach are the ones that focus on her long legs and her high leg straps.

  • This painting is my favorite painting I have from my fifties retro style. ? The girl is lying on her back on the diving board.<br />
<br />
I have no idea how this painting was supposed to look like but it did so that definitely fits in with the time period of the fifties. This painting is another example of my favorite painting that I have from my fifties retro style. This painting also has the same background as the first painting in this series, the same bright red color for the background, the blue sky and the white clouds.<br />
<br />
In my opinion this is the best painting from the series, it is my favorite out of all the ones I have done in the past twenty years or so. I still get a thrill when I see paintings like this, even twenty years later. All in all this particular painting does not look like it is straight out of the fifties but I really cannot pinpoint where that is. Maybe it's just because the girl in the painting is in a good mood and enjoying the late afternoon sun. Regardless I love this painting and will always consider it one of my favorites, much more so than the ones with the bikini on the diving board.

  • When a girl wears a bikini on the diving board in the 60s, this was considered to be sexy. In fact, surfing was considered to be such a wild and sensuous sport that it was referred to as "surfing the waves." The bold and adventurous attitude of the surfers was often epitomized by a girl wearing a bikini on the diving board. The fifties-style girl wore clothing that showed her personality and sense of sex appeal. She was bold enough to rock a fifties-style skirt with a very revealing top.<br />
<br />
It is evident that the fifties-style woman put more effort into her appearance than the modern day surfer. She desired to draw attention to her features while at the same time creating a more daring look. Just as the fifties style of dress meant that the woman was not afraid to draw attention to her best assets, the same can be said for the bikini. Although many of today's woman wear bikinis, they are often covered by clothing to keep them comfortable at the beach or pool side.<br />
<br />
The fifties style was all about showing off what you had, while at the same time being in complete control of your sexuality. Today, many women have adopted these fashions from the past. They use the clothing to create an edgy, yet sexy look, which works well for many different types of people. Whether you are wearing jeans and sneakers, or a beautiful dress, wearing a bikini is a great way to let the world know that you are confident and fun, while at the same time letting it know that you belong on the great surfing team.

Through this piece, Keteleer masterfully conveys the adventurous spirit and happiness of youth, inviting viewers to reminisce about their own moments of joy and abandon.<br />
<br />
Jan Keteleer's inspiration for "The Leap into Joy" likely stems from a deep fascination with capturing the essence of fleeting moments that embody pure happiness and freedom. Drawing from the nostalgia of the 1950s, a period often idealized for its simplicity and post-war optimism, Keteleer seizes the universal sentiment of joy found in the simplicity of childhood play. This inspiration could also be rooted in the artist's personal memories or a broader desire to evoke communal memories of innocence and youthfulness. Through the digital medium, Keteleer bridges past and present, suggesting that while times may change, the joy of youth, friendship, and the simple pleasures of life remain constant. The choice to freeze such a dynamic moment above the sea, under the sun, further underscores a universal longing for moments of unadulterated happiness and the human capacity to find beauty in everyday experiences.

  • It is obviously a late summer day on the beach looking flawless; Two tanned ladies in swimsuits are walking along the beach with the sea in the background in a clear blue sky. Yet they stand still and both look at what is to come.... you can see in the sky blue sky the first signs of clouds. Is it going to rain, storm or is something else going on. We as viewers don't know that and this image doesn't tell us that either.<br />
<br />
I created this work at the end of the summer of 2022 and the first signs of autumn are becoming visible. It is also the time when our Western world is under pressure with the war that is raging in Ukraine and we don't know what is coming. <br />
What is going to happen this coming winter, the question everyone is asking and no one can answer.<br />
<br />
So the two ladies in swimsuits symbolize our Western world that is used to bathing in luxury. That the two ladies suddenly stop and look wondering what is coming symbolizes us, we are these ladies who ask ourselves questions but do not know the answer.
