Original artwork description:

ISTANBUL SUNSET is an impasto textural impressionist palette knife oil painting 3D canvas, sizes 15x20 cm // 6x8 inch, depth 5 cm // 2 inch. The painting continues on the deep edges of the gallery wrapped canvas (3D canvas).

I was inspired to paint this vibrant colorful work of a radiant sunset scene I saw when I traveled to Istanbul. In general, as you may see in this painting also, I prefer to stylize the architectonic details of the houses. I paint mostly abstract cityscapes, as I my main goal is to deconstruct the real architectonic shapes ( than to render them exactly as in reality) and to translate them practically in differently morphed color spots interacting with each other in various ways for generate the painterly quality of the textures, that I love so much.

Materials used:
