# Greek Summer-Inspired Art These Large Seascapes Are Meant To Evoke a Sense of Freedom By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-06-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seascapes References: [yatzer](https://www.yatzer.com/maria-filopoulou) & [mariafilopoulou](http://www.mariafilopoulou.com/) Inspired by Greek summers, some of these seascape art pieces measure up to four meters in size. Paris-based artist Maria Filopoulou paints seascapes that avoid looking banal and unoriginal. She paints images of Greek seas with people frolicking about and her focus on water allows her to capture her own representation of freedom. Her paintings, whether underwater or showing the glimmering surface of the sea, manage to capture the movement and sparkle of water in a way that is difficult to achieve. By creating seascapes that can be several meters in size, the artist allows the viewer to almost immerse themselves in the art and evoke the same feelings that are represented in her paintings. While seascapes are anything but original, the depth and artistry surrounding these art pieces is a reflection of Filopoulou's vast creativity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seascape Art:** Large seascapes as an immersive experience - **Water Movement Representation:** Capturing the sparkle and movement of water in a unique way - **Creative Depth in Seascapes:** Exploring vast creativity in traditional seascapes ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Arts:** Opportunity to bring a new level of immersion in traditional art styles - **Tourism:** Integration of large sea-themed art to evoke feelings of summer and freedom in popular seaside locations - **Art Collecting:** Unique pieces that are a reflection of the vast creativity of contemporary artists ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Greek-Heritage Wanderlust-Inspired Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderlustinspired-essentials.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Sea-Inspired Table Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-materials.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [AI-Inspired Digital Art Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-perspectives.md)
