Evocations

For “Evocations”, the horizons, in their stillness, becomes an image of light and strength with their quietness symbolizing the future and hope. For Vic Bachoco, it is reminiscent of experiences, one building upon the other like the layers of the earth.

Bachoco’s signature boats symbolize more than just basic transportation. They represent the ability of man to work with nature. Rarely has man made a machine that perfectly meets his needs and is as beautiful and graceful as the sailing vessel. As to the aesthetics and the romance of sail, few inventions evoke more emotion than the majestic yachts and square rigged ships fighting through storms and calms to reach a new land and deliver its passengers and cargo safely on a new shore.

In contrast, the water represents the force of living. The ongoing rhythm of the water and the dynamic power of the sea seem to propel the journey. Sometimes it is too fast or rough, other times it may seem too smooth; but each one is sailing under the colorful canopy of the sky into an endless liberty all their own.

Distant yachts catch the sea breeze and sail through a wide seascape, with bright blue skies overhead. There is solace to be found in nature. Vic Bachoco’s seascapes bring with it a sense of calm; encouraging the viewer to quietly dream and breathe.
