The works are not photographs; according to the explanations on site, they are oil paintings executed with remarkable skill. The exhibition texts explains that, during an extensive period of experimentation with various painting techniques, Richter created these romanticized natural scenes, fusing photographic and pictorial elements.
In Seascape Cloudy, the artist captured the sky and the sea individually in photographs and then created a pictorial collage. According to him, the success of the result lies in identifying the optimal atmospheric conditions that favor the integration of the images.
