Memory of Saint Petersburg

Memory of St Petersburg, the Neva River

Memory of St Petersburg, the Nevskij Prospekt

Two original pieces from the series “Houses on the water”, oil on thick paper, 50 x 37 cm, 2016.

When, in my holidays, I go to visit a seaside town or a river town, it often happens that I am involved into the classic tourist trip on the boat, or vessel. Such an experience, by definition, is a little superficial: the distance from the coast, the movement, the limited time, all these elements combined together make the perception confused. But at the same time, perhaps for the fact that the focus can not dwell deeply on anything specific, the end of this experience gives a reminder of the whole, that could reveal the spirit of that place. It 's true, the details are confused, the facades of the buildings overlap, we are no longer sure if the front of that palace was on the Grand Canal or the Giudecca, but probably at the end of the journey, that will remain our most intense memory of Venice.

The second painting is still available for sale at the price of 460 US$. Contact me in case you are interested in more information about my work, the sales prices of individual works, or the availability for work on graphics.
