"Jerusalem" oil painting

60x80cm
This artwork depicts a stylized and abstract representation of Jerusalem, emphasizing its architectural and historical elements. The painting captures a dreamlike essence of the city, with its characteristic stone buildings, arches, and towers rendered in soft, muted tones of gold, blue, and earthy hues. The layering of arches and steps creates a sense of depth, reflecting the city's complex history and multi-leveled landscape.
The use of atmospheric perspective, with a hazy and diffuse light, evokes a serene, almost mystical quality, highlighting Jerusalem's spiritual and historical significance. The textured brushwork and interplay of warm and cool colors suggest an impressionistic interpretation rather than strict realism, blending memory and imagination. The diptych format of the artwork adds a modern touch, making the composition dynamic while inviting viewers to connect the two halves as a unified story.
This art piece celebrates Jerusalem as both an ancient and timeless city, showcasing its architecture as a symbol of resilience and spiritual depth.
