Museum of the World Ocean invites citizens and guests of Kaliningrad to make a voyage. Starting from October 8, you can get acquainted with the sea by Vivi Navarro. French marine seascape artist shows her love to the sea in her pictures. You can see trawlers, cargo ships, sailing boats and... people on her canvases. Vivi took part in many voyages aboard various ships and made sketches and drew during her travels. She drew crew members’ portraits, rigging, memories about sea dangers and sometimes wrecks in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The commander of the French Navy awarded Vivi Navarro for her work. She was a guest on the Kruzenstern and the captain invited the artist to the voyage on the legendary sailing boat. Having come back she made new drawings in her workshop and then was aboard again, on the largest container ship ever named Marco Polo this time. She was to depict the maiden voyage from Zeebrugge to Shanghai!

Her works were displayed in many art galleries. In 2009, the artist was invited to the Mus?e de la Marine in Brest to present her sketches devoted to the Jeanne d’Arc. She was also invited to the Mus?e de la Marine in Paris in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009.

Now guests of Museum of the World Ocean can get to know the picturesque canvases by the French artist who owned that she’s got the sea inside her.

The exhibition is prepared in cooperation with the Baltic State Academy of Fishing Fleet.
