About the Item
This painting measures 13.5"x 11.3". It is a poetic representation of a stone wall in the Greek island of Kythira. George Tzannes is an American painter of Greek origins. In his twenties he visited Kythira, the Greek island of his father's birth. Since that time, the island has become the major reference of his creativity.The focus of this artwork is a subject very dear to Tzannes: the timeless, spiritual quality of the island's landscape, where nature and ancient monument's ruins mix in an endless circle of life. The wheat stems so full of life dramatically contrasts with the stone-filled window creating a tangible effect of life prevailing over decadence. The gentle blue light pervading everything creates the sensation of an intense blue sky that is not seen but only perceived. The visual experience slowly becomes almost physical as if the viewer viewer could step into the painting and hear the cicadas singing under the summer sun.

Time Transfixed - Horizontal Abstract Green Landscape Painting on Canvas
By Andrei Petrov
Located in New York, NY
Andrei Petrov's Time Transfixed is a 24 x 48 inch abstract landscape oil painting on canvas.
It is a lyric abstraction in green with accents of blue and purple. The reference to a natural landscape is clearly there, almost like falling tree branches reflecting on the water surface of a lake. Petrov works by applying layers of paint and then scraping off some parts to reveal the shades underneath. The play of transparencies, brushstrokes and lights brings to life an emotional and relaxing composition.
Andrei Petrov is an American Artist of Russian origins. He lives and works in New York. He states "In my approach two roads...

Old town
1983. Watercolor, acrylic on paper, 76x56 cm
The central focus of the artwork is on an old town, a historic district known for its antiquated architecture, cobbled streets, and a sense of bygone eras. The combination of watercolor and acrylic on paper offers a diverse and dynamic visual experience. Watercolors can create soft and atmospheric effects, while acrylics provide vibrancy and texture, making the artwork expressive and visually engaging.
