The Visitation

A Visitation...
At the old harbor of Corfu...
Where everything is unveiled and covered at the same time...
Island of dead and island of alive, at the same time...
Oil on linen Canvas

I post the comment of for this painting as I find it very descriptive to the content of it
"I love the detail, textures, light, composition actually i love the whole lot. I think this is one of favorite works of yours. White is powerful tone, it shows a lack of something, lack of life, for me it is color of mourning, because it at least to me symbolizes of something that is missing that is not there any more. I like how you keep the flow of the cloth not only wrapping the building and the figure but also the white sheets on balcony... For me a death comes from the sea and takes ones to sea, same way the figure comes, same way that the cloth ends. Even though on surface the sky sets the light feeling, the darkness is underneath hidden, same way we hide our true faces, our emotions, who we truly are. It creeps up shows at times, but still gets hidden behind beautiful facades. Keep it up!"
