Detailed description:

Scuola Grande di San Marco in sunset 1

Acrylic paint and markers on canvas, 30 × 40 cm.

The painting is composed of shades of blue, blue-violet, turquoise, and light metallic gold.

The background forms a smooth gradient of blue tones with a noticeable blue-violet tint, darker toward the top and gradually becoming lighter toward the lower part of the canvas.

In the upper right part of the composition, the upper façade of a building is rendered in light metallic gold paint. The structure is shown at a slight diagonal angle.

The façade consists of several architectural sections. In the center is a rectangular portal framed by columns and topped with a decorative arch. Inside this central panel, a small lion figure is depicted.

On both sides of the central section are rounded architectural elements with ornamental bands and small niches containing simplified standing figures.

Along the top edge of the structure stand several small statues placed on pedestals.

The depiction of the building is cropped and extends downward to approximately the middle of the large arched doorway.

Below the golden architectural section, the lower part of the building is painted in turquoise tones. Darker blue lines indicate arched windows and architectural details of the façade.

Narrative description

I flew like a bird, ran like a wolf, raced like a hare to you, to you—the whole way to you. I’ve never loved anyone like this, and now it’s happened: I love you. I was in such a hurry, I saw nothing but you—I dropped my wallet, lost my phone, left the bags at the airport, none of it matters. It doesn’t matter, because today there is such light and such a sky, and these cobblestones, and here you are—my dear city, how I’ve missed you, oh, how I’ve missed you.
