Memories of Venice (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Olha Laptieva

This expressive mixed-media painting on canvas was inspired by the warm memories of traveling through Italy. The scene captures the quiet poetry of Venice — gondolas gently resting on the water, wooden poles reflecting in the canal, and the iconic bridge emerging through the glowing atmosphere of the city.
Rich shades of red, terracotta, and soft grey create an emotional, almost dreamlike mood, reminiscent of the golden evenings and vibrant colors of Italian streets. The loose lines and textured layers give the painting a sense of movement, as if the memory itself is slowly unfolding.
Painted using mixed media on canvas, this artwork blends drawing and painterly gestures, creating depth and expressive character.
With its elegant format (30 × 50 cm), the painting would bring warmth and a romantic Mediterranean atmosphere to any interior — perfect for a living room, study, or creative space.
A small window into the timeless beauty and emotion of Italy.
