Impressions in Impasto 07

Medium: Mixed media on canvas and wood - Framed Size: 88.5 x 64 x 4.5 cm Weight: 3.0 kg Date: 2017-2021 This painting unites two forms of order: the organic flow of nature, seemingly chaotic at first glance, and the precise geometric structure of an arch, a testament to human creativity and artistic skill. Nature is rendered light and refreshing, like a morning breeze, with free and impulsive brushstrokes, while the arch is meticulously detailed in dark tones. The man walking along the water stream stands as the focal point of the vibrant natural scene, yet his dark tones mirror those of the arch. This juxtaposition hints at humanity's dual role in life—integral to nature yet distinct from it. The surreal interplay between the landscape and the architectural structure, further emphasized by the use of copper and highlighted with shining gold, reinforces this paradoxical reality.
