Pjazza Indipendenza

Sun-washed stones in ochre light,
Balconies whisper stories bright.
A square where shadows softly play,
And echoes of the past still stay.

This watercolour on paper painting belongs to the architectural/urban landscape genre. The technique uses a restrained palette dominated by warm yellows and siennas, capturing the sunlit ambiance of the Maltese square. Linework and washes define the architectural elements with both structure and softness. The overall composition conveys atmosphere and a sense of place through controlled transparency and tonal harmony.
