Original artwork description:

"The Cyclops Rocks" is an original landscape oil painting that captures the monumental geometry of rock formations shaped by time, wind, and water. Painted on site during the plein air session at the coast of Aci Trezza, Sicily, the painting referred to the legendary episode in Homer's Odyssey (c. 700 BC), where the hero encounters a Cyclops. The composition balances bold form and subtle light, where textured brushstrokes suggest the weathered power of stone while maintaining a poetic stillness.

Perfect for collectors who value expressive landscapes, symbolic nature studies, historical storytelling and paintings that merge realism with emotional atmosphere.

Artist Impressions:
This impressionistic landscape has been painted in Sicily near the legendary rocks of the Cyclops. They are well known to everyone from the immortal work of Homer, The Odyssey. It is incredible how much the place where you paint affects the result! Not only in colour, saturation, tone, but even the surrounding nature sometimes guides you in applying a stroke on the canvas. It seems to me that after this plein air, I began to understand impressionists better.

Details:
– Original oil painting on linen canvas

– Certificate of Authenticity included
