Melody of the Grand Canal (2025)Acrylic painting by Viktoria Lapteva
50 x 65 x 2cm (unframed)

Original artwork description
"Melody of the Grand Canal" is a vibrant, highly textured celebration of Venice's timeless beauty. This original artwork captures the iconic silhouette of the Santa Maria della Salute against a shimmering sky, where the rhythmic movement of gondolas creates a visual symphony on the water.
The Technique: I created this piece using an expressive impasto technique with a palette knife. This allowed me to build thick, sculptural layers of paint that give the architecture and the water a physical presence. The surface is rich with tactile details—from the "crusty" textures of the ancient stone walls to the fluid, energetic strokes representing the canal's reflection.
The Mood: The painting balances the warmth of golden-ochre architecture with refreshing splashes of turquoise and teal. A unique stenciled pattern in the foreground adds a contemporary, decorative touch, bridging the gap between classical Venetian scenery and modern interior art.
