Description from the seller
Take a journey through time with this evocative work that pays homage to the majesty of ancient Eastern architecture, where a ruined building is the central focal point, while the figures at the base provide the scale needed to grasp the magnitude of the structure.
An oil painting on canvas mounted on panel, it not only depicts an imposing structure, but also captures the essence of a civilization, contrasting the grandeur of a dome of tiles worn by the centuries with the simplicity of daily life at its feet.
The presence of figures in traditional dress and the wooden wagon add a narrative layer that invites contemplation.
Technically, one can appreciate meticulous texturing work to replicate the erosion of stone and brick, delivering exceptional material realism, resolved with impressionist brushstrokes and prioritizing atmosphere and the effects of natural light.
The artist uses a color palette that blends earth tones, ochres and sand, contrasted with the turquoise and cobalt of the remnants of the glass dome. The sky, with mauve and gray brushstrokes, suggests a warm and dusty sunset.
