Original artwork description:

Espresso captures a quiet, in-between moment on a seaside terrace, where the presence of people is felt only through what remains behind. Empty chairs, a small table, and a lone espresso cup sit facing the open sea, framed by a simple café structure. The composition feels both intimate and expansive.

Alexander Levich uses a soft, luminous palette to create a sense of stillness and warmth. The brushwork is controlled yet relaxed, allowing light to define space without sharp contrasts. The horizon line remains steady, reinforcing the calm rhythm of the scene.

This painting is less about place and more about time – the pause between moments, the silence before continuation. Espresso is ideal for collectors who appreciate understated storytelling, contemporary coastal art, and works that reward quiet contemplation.
