Delta I is a work by Constantin Calafateanu, held at Gavrila Simion Eco-Museum Research Institute Tulcea.
This painting shows a landscape with bold, messy brushstrokes. Two thin trees stand in the center, their branches bare. The sky is dark blue with a few white shapes that look like birds or clouds. Below, the ground is a mix of red, yellow, green, and brown patches, like a field or water seen from far away. The paint is thick in places, almost like it was slapped on the canvas. The colors clash but still feel alive, with no smooth blends—just sharp edges and rough texture. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this is used.
