Venice by night

Sunset over the peaceful canals of Venice.

Venice by night captures the magic of a Venetian evening through an abstract painting in which the setting sun tints the sky with shades of pink and purple, reflecting their brilliance on the city's peaceful canals.

The painting moves away from literal representation, focusing instead on a few key elements: architecture, water, perspective, and, above all that distinctive Venetian light. Forms are simplified and outlines dissolve, allowing color to take center stage.

What remains is a near-silent Venice, stripped of the clichéd image of a tourist destination. It is a personal vision, in which the city emerges more as a sensation than a landscape
