Reflections in a Venice canal (2020) Original Pastel Drawing by Kateryna Nazarenko

Reflections in a Venice Canal captures the quiet poetry of Venice, where boats drift through narrow waterways and shimmering reflections ripple across the canal’s surface. In this soft pastel piece, I set out to express both the serenity and vibrance of this unique city — the stillness of the water balanced by the life and color of historic facades mirrored below.

Blending realism with impressionistic touches, this artwork evokes the charm of travel memories and sunlit days spent wandering beside the canals. The gentle movement of the water, the play of light and shadow, and the rich yet softened color palette all invite the viewer into a moment of calm observation.

Perfect for those who love Italy, Venetian architecture, or the timeless feel of reflected cityscapes, this painting brings a peaceful, emotionally rich atmosphere to any room.
