- Night Lights of Istanbul
Original artwork description
This vibrant oil painting captures the soul of Istanbul as it transitions into the magical blue hour. The iconic silhouette of the Suleymaniye Mosque stands majestically against a deep indigo sky, its domes and minarets glowing with golden warmth.
I used a palette knife technique to create rich, impasto textures that bring the scene to life. The rhythmic brushstrokes in the foreground mirror the shimmering reflection of city lights on the Bosphorus, where ferries gently glide through the water. The contrast between the cool blues of the night and the fiery oranges and yellows of the city lights creates a sense of energy and timeless romance.
This artwork is not just a landscape; it is an invitation to feel the salty breeze of the sea and the ancient pulse of a city that never sleeps.
