Snow on the ships

In this oil painting, the viewer is presented with a serene and nostalgic scene: old warehouses or barns in ruins, covered by a white blanket of snow. The snow, omnipresent, transforms the landscape into a place of stillness and silence, inviting contemplation. The morning sun breaks in from behind, subtly illuminating the scene in a stunning backlight. Despite the challenge of this lighting, the artist has managed to masterfully define the textures of the buildings. The yellow blast of dawn light cuts out the architecture with precision, generating shadows in cold and deep blue tones. This work captures not only the beauty of a winter snowfall, but also the essence of the old and the left behind, evoking a feeling of melancholy and calm that envelops the viewer.
