Hot sand. Salt on your lips. The decision to stay a little longer.A dad and his son, a mum carrying her daughter, you know the particular relief of shade after too much sun, and the weight of your own body pressing into warm sand, and the sound of other people’s children somewhere nearby. Maru watched this scene in Menorca — the careful geometry of a beach at rest, figures who chose stillness over swimming, the ones who simply stopped. The palette is almost bleached: pale cream, grey-blue, the colours of afternoon light when the heat has softened everything.This is not a painting about paradise. It’s about the real thing — sand between your toes and not caring how long you’ve been there.This artwork sells exclusively for The Funky Curator. Limited Edition of 350.
