Venice Glow (2026) Original Oil Painting by Viktoria Lapteva

This vibrant painting captures the magical essence of Venice at that fleeting moment when the setting sun sets the sky on fire. Using a palette knife and bold impasto strokes, I wanted to convey not just a view, but the very energy of the Venetian lagoon. The warm glow of the clouds creates a stunning contrast with the deep violets and blues of the water, where the iconic silhouettes of gondolas gently rest.

The rich texture of the paint adds a 3D effect, making the scene come alive as the light changes in your room throughout the day. This piece is a celebration of light, color, and the timeless romance of Italy.
