Alexandra Rozenman’s “One-way to Paris” 16 x 20 x 2.5 oil on canvas painting is a part of her landscape series where she plays with reality and abstraction inside the familiar place. The painting is a well thought- through abstract painting that symbolizes both departure and arrival. The dramatic combination of blues and beautiful browns in geometrical interposition of forms gives us a feeling of going away, departure, speed, light, and serendipity filled with expectations and purifying beauty. The light of dreamy suns above the horizon is suddenly deep green and energizes and calms the senses at the same time. We wonder thinking about the future, a highway that magically finds a way to transform into one lonely Paris street light...

“Longitude” is 40 x 60 x 2 inch oil painting on canvas by Alexandra Rozenman. You feel the space shifting through many horizon lines. A peaceful river landscape with a single boat on a green shore keeps the painting up like a pedestal while above it air moves in greens and blues leaving lines and shapes on the lands and mountains. White trees that make us think about birches reflect in deep waters. Light goes up and up and up and on the very top of the painting, we see two women sitting comfortably next to each other at the front of an open door. This vast landscape is just a room for them. Dark night with a full moon is outside. The title of this painting is "Longitude" it illustrates how close we can be even when we are far away once we understand each another. This painting is oil on canvas, initialed on the front and signed, titled and dated on the reverse. On the reverse, you also see one old...
