Costin Ioanid (1914-1993) - Hania, Portul Venetian (Creta)
Vibrant and luminous composition by Romanian painter Costin loanid, representing the Venetian Harbour of Chania (Crete).
The artist captures the Mediterranean landscape with a bold, xpressive palette of turquoise, ochre, and deep blue, blending geometry and rhythm reminiscent of post-impressionist and fauvist styles. The aerial perspective gives the scene a sense of harmony and balance between architecture, coastline, and sea. This work, "Hania - Portul Venetian (Creta)", is dated 1992 and signed with the distinctive monogram "CI" inside an oval. On the reverse, the artist's name, title, year, technique, and dimensions are inscribed in pencil - indicating direct authorship and documentation by the artist himself.
Costin loanid is a Romanian painter and graphic artist noted for his subtle fusion of colour and form.
A graduate of the Nicolae Grigorescu Institute of Fine Arts, oanid's work bridges realism and abstraction, often portraying nudes, coastal scenes, and architectural motifs through a modernist approach.
He has exhibited in Romania and abroad, and his paintings are included in private collections throughout Europe. His style reflects a lyrical modernism influenced by post-war European art.
