Byzantium
$180
This expressive acrylic artwork captures a dreamlike vision of a city bathed in the opulence and mystique of the Byzantine era. Bold, layered strokes of crimson, gold, and ochre build up the suggestion of towering domes and pointed rooftops, evoking the grandeur of ancient Constantinople. The metallic undertones and warm earth hues give a sense of sacred illumination, as though the city glows from within.
The brushwork is loose and gestural, allowing the forms to dissolve into abstraction, while reflections at the base hint at the Bosporus. Splashes of blue and white add contrast and movement, creating the illusion of light dancing over stone and mosaic.
This painting invites contemplation of impermanence — how beauty endures not in its preservation, but in the traces it leaves behind.
