Syracuse series
The series is dedicated to the city of Syracuse, Sicily. This city by the sea was surrounded by steep cliffs, washed by the green waves. These rocks offered a unique view of the endless horizon, and the sight of a clear horizon, not obstructed by either trees or buildings, gave rise to the feeling that the human capabilities were as limitless and mysterious as this sea.
The series consists of 3 paintings:
- Traveler (24х57 cm)
- In front of the horizon (32х60 cm)
- Day breaking (32х60 cm)
