Retour à Venise

Promenade à Venise is an evocative oil pastel artwork on paper that embodies spontaneity and fluidity through the technique of one-line drawing. The piece captures the vibrant essence of Venice using bold red loops and intersecting black vertical and horizontal lines that suggest the city's iconic architectural forms and canals. Accentuated with dashes of green, blue, and yellow, the composition reveals hints of nature, water reflections, and the luminous atmosphere of the city.
The medium of oil pastel emphasizes the immediacy of the creative process, as the work is rendered without the possibility of correction or retouching. This approach amplifies the artist's raw gesture and emotional engagement, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and improvisation. The outcome is a lively and abstract representation of Venice, inviting viewers to explore its rhythmic energy and the artist's instinctive interpretation.
