This painting is a vibrant, textured depiction of what appears to be the Colosseum in Rome, rendered in a distinctive impasto style. The artist uses thick, directional strokes of paint, creating a tactile surface that gives the artwork a sense of energy and movement.
The structure is painted primarily in shades of yellow, white, and cream, with touches of red that suggest the terracotta color of the ancient stone. The Colosseum’s arches are clearly defined and are filled with vertical strokes of deep red paint, adding depth and contrast.
The sky transitions from a light yellow to a cooler turquoise blue at the top of the frame, with the same directional brushstrokes following the curve of the building. Throughout the piece, small strokes of red are scattered across the surface, creating visual interest and a unifying element.
The overall effect is both abstract and recognizable, capturing the essence of the iconic Roman landmark in a bold, expressive manner. The thick application of paint and the directional brushstrokes lend the painting a three-dimensional quality, making it a dynamic and engaging work of art.
