Histria

About this work

This painting shows a row of old buildings with flat roofs and tall, narrow windows. The colors are mostly muted—beiges, browns, and soft yellows—with a few red and green accents. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the walls a textured, almost rough look. The buildings seem to lean slightly, as if they’re barely standing. The sky above is a dark, flat shape with no detail, making the structures feel even more solid and heavy. This style of thick paint is called *impasto*.
