Original artwork description:

With this painting, the artist is inviting the viewer on a journey to the Swiss alps, an idyllic setting where the magical sun shines through and brings to light the myths and legends of this peaceful, natural loving land.

From a vantage point, above a lake, we can see far away in the distance, as far as the mountains allow it. Their peaks coated white and their bodies covered in thick forests - all made using a layer of extremely thick oil paint.

This picture is a peaceful adventure - a respire and a joyful pause to admire and take a deep breath of fresh air.

Dominic Virtosu has created a mood that evokes feeling of grandeur and strength for the mountains, and peacefulness for the lake.

The artist uses spray paints to create a vivid background and then squishes oil paints directly out of the tube to make the mountains in the foreground. This technique creates a richly textured surface that invites viewers to feel the rich oil paints with their fingers.

The vibrant colors and thick oil paint create a painterly effect that is sure to catch the eye of any art lover. Vibrant blues and greens contrast against the green mountains, making for an unforgettable piece that you'll be proud to display in your home.
