Mediterranean / Narrow Path (2025)Oil painting
by Gozde Temiz Istanbul

4 Artist Reviews

£297.24

Original artwork description

This work belongs to the Thick Paper / Oil series, where landscape is approached as a slow, tactile experience shaped by surface and resistance rather than depiction.
A narrow path moves quietly through a Mediterranean terrain, guiding the eye without urgency or destination. The figure appears not as a subject, but as a measure of scale and stillness within the landscape.

Painted on ultra-thick handmade paper, the oil paint sits close to the surface, allowing texture, interruption, and layered gestures to remain visible. Movement unfolds gradually through the terrain — restrained, grounded, and contemplative.
Rather than describing a place, the work holds a moment of passage, where walking becomes a way of sensing atmosphere, time, and quiet presence.

Materials used:

WANDERINGS thick handmade vintage watercolor paper (28x44 cm, 300gsm), Winston Newton oil paint
