Mediterranean Night
Oil and Charcoal on Canvas
The large-scale “Mediterranean Night” is defined by a striking contrast between deep, dark blue tones and the softer hues of human figures that appear to float in space. The composition evokes a dreamlike atmosphere, filled with associative imagery that draws the viewer into an ancient drama of pleasure, fate, and guilt. These figurative allusions resonate with the viewer's own emotions and experiences, creating a powerful and immersive narrative. The use of oil paints enriches the canvas with opulent, vibrant colors, enhancing the work's emotional intensity and visual impact. The interplay of light and dark, and softness and intensity, adds depth and power to this evocative piece. It is painted on raw canvas, which adds to its archaic and raw atmosphere.
