Oil painting Venice Serhiy Kovalev

№Galler 10

The painting "Venice" by Serhiy Kovalev captures the essence of Venice's famous canals, featuring a narrow waterway flanked by tall buildings. One side of the street is dominated by a bold red structure, whose reflection ripples across the water, contrasting with the muted colors of the neighboring buildings. The textured brushstrokes add depth to both the architecture and the water, emphasizing the dynamic interaction between the city and its canals.

Through this work, Kovalev might have aimed to express the unique atmosphere of Venice—its timeless charm, architectural beauty, and the fluid relationship between land and water. The bold use of color in the red building contrasts sharply with the more subdued tones, highlighting the individuality of the Venetian landscape while celebrating its harmonious blend of nature and urban life.
