St Catherine Church, Valletta

Golden light caresses the sacred stone,
Echoes of prayers etched in ochre and bone.
A portal of grace in the city’s old heart,
Where silence and splendor never depart.

This watercolour is rendered in an architectural realist style, focusing on the Baroque façade with expressive washes and defined linework. The technique captures depth and volume through tonal variation and controlled pigment flow. Emphasis is placed on natural lighting and structural grandeur. The result is a harmonious blend of precision and atmosphere.
