The Lavender Hour in Venice (2025)Oil painting by Ruslana Levandovska

In this painting, a gentleman stands with quiet elegance, a cigar in hand, his gaze lost in the distance across the Venetian canals. Behind him, graceful façades line the water as gondolas rest in stillness along the channel. The moment is bathed in the lavender hues of sunset—or perhaps the first light of dawn—capturing that fleeting hour when Venice feels timeless, suspended between day and night. Blending realism with impressionistic light, the scene carries both nostalgia and introspection, while the figure embodies a sense of enduring grace. Bringing this work into your home invites not only the romance of Venice, but also an atmosphere of calm, poetic reflection, and the city’s eternal beauty.
