ABSTRACT VERNAZZA IMPRESSION CINQUE TERRE ITALY impasto textural modern impressionism palette knife oil painting by Ana Maria Edulescu Original Oil Painting by ANA MARIA EDULESCU

Highly textured impasto palette knife modern impressionist oil painting on stretched canvas ( square format ) 20 x 20 cm , depth - 2 cm .

I painted this work during this summer after I revisited some of my most favorite places in Italy. I was back to Cinque Terre also.

I was inspired to paint this work by my travels to Cinque Terre, Italy. Painted this work during last summer after I revisited some of my most favorite places in Italy, also Cinque Terre. I realized this modern textural impressionist painting in impasto technique by applying thick layers of oil paints with different types of palette knives. In this way I am able to create various palette knife strokes and textures that, by interacting one with each other, give a semi abstract feeling to my paintings.

As an artist I get inspiration from my travels and one of my favorite places is Cinque Terre, in Italy.

Cinque Terre (Five Lands) is called a small portion of the rocky coast of the Italian Riviera. It is known for its scenic beauty, one of the most photographed places on earth, the place that we imagine all the winter :sun, sea, mountains, tranquility, promenade, elegant houses with pastel facades. Here time stops ... there is something timeless in the beauty of this place...

Vernazza (Latin: Vulnetia) is a town and comune located in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northwestern Italy. It is one of the five towns that make up the Cinque Terre region. Vernazza is the fourth town heading north, has no car traffic, and remains one of the truest "fishing villages" on the Italian Riviera.
