Gran Canal

Sun-kissed facades in liquid light,
Flow gently through the blue’s delight.
A city’s soul in soft embrace,
Reflected dreams in time and space.

This pastel on paper painting belongs to the landscape/urban scene genre. The technique employs loose, impressionistic strokes with pastels to evoke the shimmering atmosphere of Venice’s Grand Canal. The warm hues of the buildings contrast with the cool blues of the water, while the sketch-like quality enhances the sense of movement and vibrancy typical of canal life. The approach prioritizes mood and light over fine detail.
