Between a sky and the Earth

A white cathedral with a large central blue dome and four smaller blue cupolas, each topped with a gold cross, rises at the center of the canvas, its columned portico facing a set of wide steps. Rows of ochre and cream classical facades with tiled roofs flank it on either side, arranged like a collaged skyline above a band of dark earth and a rippling teal ground.

The surface mixes smooth blue-green washes with rough textured passages and flecks of gold leaf, giving the scene a weathered, mosaic-like shimmer. Cool blues dominate against the warm terracotta of the buildings, and the flattened, layered architecture reads like a symbolic assemblage rather than a single street view, producing a hushed, meditative calm.
