Chasing the Sun (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Anca IOVESCU

Inspired by a cycling holiday with my children in Transylvania, near the Fagaras Mountains, this painting captures movement, fresh air, changing light, and the feeling of moving forward.
This work is part of the same series as Sunrise over the Carta Ruins, also available on Artfinder.
Through bold colors, strong palette knife strokes, and thick layers of paint, I expressed dynamism, energy, and strength.
The cyclist symbolizes determination, while the sun represents hope.
Painted in acrylic on stretched canvas using a heavy impasto technique, it features a rich textured surface that changes with the light.
Ready to hang, with painted sides.
Shipped securely on its wooden stretcher frame; it cannot be rolled due to the thick texture.
