Mezquita, Córdoba, 1977.

In the contemporary metropolis one can often get the impression that there is no end, edge, limit or border. The city seems to extend in all directions to the horizon, often with monotony and apparent alienating repetitions. However, for those who live in it, the infinite city is not only a source of stress and frustration, but it is often an exciting jungle, a continuous challenge full of possibilities and unpredictable opportunities. In the infinite city we become small and the fear of being crushed can be great, but despite this it irresistibly attracts us, like a siren call. Original paintings sold. 

The little masterpiece that I worked on for a week is a new oil painting "The Rise of the Black Moon over the City". It was very interesting, like every artist (I am an unprofessional artist) to create what you are working on for the first time. I have a rare technique - I paint only on wood in mixed media using acrylic and oil, I mix all the colors by hand as I want. The color scheme is very suitable for the cold season, this is what will warm you up on long autumn and winter evenings.
