"I Enjoy This Waiting" gracefully captures the essence of anticipation through the portrayal of an elderly man in repose. With a flowing white beard, an ivory hat, and a turquoise coat, the figure stands as a serene sentinel in a landscape adorned with pastelated flowers and expanses of green, purple, and blue. The background, leaning towards an illustrative style rather than strict realism, conjures images reminiscent of Monet's idyllic garden at Giverny. The painting exudes a tranquil ambiance, inviting contemplation and conveying a sense of joy and quiet. The deliberate interplay of colors and the gentle depiction of the waiting figure weave together to create a visual poem that speaks to the beauty of patience and the serenity found in the midst of expectation. The painting is oil on canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher. It comes shipped very carefully in a box directly from Mihai Cotiga’s studio. The painting is hand signed on the back and it will come with a certificate of authenticity. Mihai Cotiga is a painter based in Bucharest, Romania, whose works have been exhibited nationally and internationally. He uses his life events and thoughts to bring meaning into his work being driven by the curiosity to understand what is around us and the passion to always learn something new.
