AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A novel photograph in which the mute is shown transformed and somehow upside down. Lights become shadows, shadows turn into lights, colors transform into their complements, and magic emerges. It is a transmuted photograph with the positive inverted, becoming what was once called a negative but highly worked and enhanced with digital painting.

The Basilica of San Marco in Venice viewed in full, unobstructed and without facades that hide part of its essence. A plausible composition but impossible to see in reality.

These city views are the magical result of extensive research and work, both intellectual and manual with the computer. Recognizable urban landscape but completely transformed through light and color. A unique technique in the world, as far as I know.

Artistic work around the world, in order of number of paintings:
Spain, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Austria, Belgium, Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland, Mexico, Luxembourg, Romania, Australia.

Seller's Story

My personal artwork. Oil paintings on black and white photographic grisaille on canvas. Dreamlike views of cities. Natural transformation of the city and the urban environment to make it more pleasant and livable. Recreated views of the city. An idealized vision of the city surrounded by nature. A panoramic vision of a reinvented city. Nature recovers the space that always belonged to it.
